Bronchospirometry is a relatively recent method by which the functions and volumina of each lung are determined separately at the same time. Jacobaeus, Björkman and Frenckner12 were the first to publish such studies in 1932. They used a double-channelled metal bronchoscope. A number of studies were done with this method by Björkman2 ; Frenckner and Björkman6; and Jacobaeus8, 9; Bezançon, Braun, Soulas and Cachin1; Brighton and Barach3; and Jacobaeus and Bruce.10, 11In 1939 Gebauer7reported a soft-rubber bronchial catheter, constructed for use in bronchospirometry.
