Measures of spatial and temporal ventilation heterogeneity obtained in COPD patients by EIT provide comparable findings during repeated examinations within one testing session. Quiet tidal breathing generates similar information on ventilation heterogeneity as forced manoeuvres that demand a high amount of patient effort.
