Relationships and Bland and Altman analysis (all cycles together). Relationship and Bland and Altman plot of the contraction period estimated with thoracic motion (TC-TM), respiratory airflow (TC-FL) and transdiaphragmatic pressure (TC-DP) signals versus contraction period estimated with diaphragmatic length signal (TC-DL), for all the respiratory cycles analyzed in the three dogs and the three respiratory tests. The solid black continuous line is the identity function (desired relationship). Each dot represents a respiratory cycle. The cycles corresponding to the spontaneous ventilation without spinal anaesthesia respiratory test of the Dog 1 are encircled in the Bland and Altman plot.
