Re: Research: How to reduce lung residual volume?

Interesting, Eric! (though not really surprising). What are the values before and after? And how do you measure the RV yourself? I thought that relatively expensive equipment was needed for RV measurements. As far as I know, it is usually calculated by gas analysis - for example the change caused by washout of nitrogen. Or is there any affordable measurement device available on the market?

And did your total lung capacity also shrink in similar way, or is it unchanged?
