Abstract Synopsis

  • This article describes a detailed method for using the forced oscillation technique (FOT) to measure lung mechanics in mice, which involves specialized equipment like the FlexiVentFX system and custom-built tools for intubation.
  • The protocol ensures accurate and standardized testing of lung function, making it suitable for researchers studying respiratory issues in mouse models, especially within large projects like the International Mouse Phenotyping Consortium.
  • The paper includes step-by-step guides on setting up the equipment, performing the intubation, and analyzing the data, aiming to make the process accessible and reproducible for researchers in respiratory physiology.
