In recent years, there has been an increase in the frequency of severe, recurrent and chronic lung diseases of an infectious and allergic nature. In 4-16% of cases [2, 3, 6, 8, 10], these diseases are accompanied by the development of severe airway obstruction and require a timely assessment of the degree of impaired respiratory function. Currently, the main methods for assessing the function of external respiration remain spirometric methods, which can provide important information about tidal volumes, respiratory rates and the intensity of gas exchange in the lungs [7].
