Breath‐by‐breath measurement of alveolar gas exchange must preserve mass balance and conform to a physiological definition of a breath by Michele Girardi, Carlo Capelli, Carrie Ferguson, Susan A. Ward, Harry B. Rossiter

“…To overcome this, several algorithms provide solutions for breath‐by‐breath alveolar gas exchange measurement; however, there is no consensus on a physiologically robust method suitable for widespread application. A recent approach, the ‘independent‐breath’ (IND) algorithm, avoids the complexity of measuring breath‐by‐breath changes in lung volume by redefining what is meant by a ‘breath’. …”
