An apparatus for measuring respiration includes a first gauge for positioning around a patient's chest and a second gauge for positioning around the patient's abdomen. Each gauge is comprised of a compliant tube, e.g., natural or silicone rubber filled with a conductive gel. The conductive gel is a composition comprising glycerol, water, and, e.g., sodium chloride. Upon securing the gauges about the patient, signals indicative of absolute volume are immediately available, providing a new and improved method of measuring and/or monitoring respiration.
