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.
