A plethysmograph is an instrument for measuring changes in volume within an organ or whole body (usually resulting from fluctuations in the amount of blood or air it contains). Pulmonary plethysmographs are commonly used to measure the functional residual capacity (FRC) of the lungs the volume in the lungs when the muscles of respiration are relaxed and total lung capacity.
