Measurement of lung volumes and capacities » Of the volumes and capacities, the most important to measure is the FRC, because this volume can then be used to determine all the other volumes by means of spirometry. The FRC can be determined by a number of ways. The most common are body plethysmography, nitrogen washout and inert tracer gas dilution. After determining the FRC, all other lung volumes can be determined by spirometry. Derangedphysiology.com

Nitrogen gas produces less behavioural and neurophysiological excitation than carbon dioxide in mice undergoing euthanasia » Carbon dioxide (CO[2] ) is one of the most commonly used gas euthanasia agents in mice, despite reports of aversion and nociception. Inert gases such as nitrogen (N[2] ) may be a viable alternative to carbon dioxide. Here we compared behavioural and electrophysiological… Ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
