Summary of Passing-Bablok comparisons of the ventilatory variables measured with the pneumotachograph (PNT) and the non-contact vibrometer using airborne ultrasound (SONAR) during synchronous recordings of the two datasets (PNT-SONAR condition, BACK recordings).
| SONAR-PNT condition BACK | BF (breath min-1) | TT S | TI S | TE S | VT/displacement L cm |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Intercept A | 0.07 | 0.13 | 0.20 | 0.09 | -1.03 |
| 95% CI | (-2.53 to 2.09) | (-0.56 to 0.87) | (-0.99 to 0.95) | (-0.97 to 0.72) | (-5.21 to 0.14) |
| Slope B | 1.01 | 0.97 | 1.04 | 0.96 | 3.00 |
| 95% CI | (0.87–1.20) | (0.78–1.14) | (0.53–1.97) | (0.61–1.28) | (1.02–10.00) |
| p-Value | p = 0.78 | p = 0.18 | p = 0.78 | p = 0.99 | p = 0.18 |
BF, breathing frequency; TT, breathing cycle period; TI, inspiratory time; TE, expiratory time; VT, tidal volume; s, second; L, liter.
