Abstract
There are still only a few laboratories using breath-by-breath methods for the determination of spiroergometric data. The reason for this may be that commercially produced equipment — if available — is expensive and complicated to handle. This is a surprising fact because computers and microprocessors are starting to govern the world in all other areas. Most of the breath-by-breath equipment, therefore, are homemade like the methods described by Beaver et al. [1], Smidt and Finkenzeller [9], and Stegemann [10] using digital computers and the method of Wigertz [11] and Linnarson and Lindberg [7] who performed the computation by an analog device.
