The barometric method is unique in permitting measurement of human tidal volume in a totally noninvasive manner. Its application and accuracy were limited by several complex problems. These include control of inspired gas composition, base-line stability and asymmetry of processes occurring during inspiration and expiration. A new method is described that addresses these problems and facilitates long-term measurements. New calculations, which avoid previous errors that caused the method to systematically underestimate tidal volume, are illustrated.
