Zusammenfassung:The invention relates to a device for representing the lung, the volume of the lung, and the respiration characteristics of the lung, comprising a Y-shaped tube containing a main tube ( 10 ) which branches into a first branch ( 20 ) and a second branch ( 30 ), whereby one branch ( 20,30 ) is provided with an obstruction ( 50 ). A device for collecting and/or determining an amount of gas ( 100 ) introduced therein is disposed at the end of the two branches ( 20,30 ). The invention also relates to the use of the above-mentioned device which can act as a model in patients suffering from obstructive respiratory tract diseases. The inventive device provides an easy-to-use model for the representation of the functions of the lung, particularly in the case of restrictions such as COPD.
