However, the cut-off IOS values for the detection of asthma control in adults are still unclear. Objective: To assess the diagnostic ability of IOS for distinguishing between poorly controlled and well controlled adult asthmatic subjects with normal spirometry. Methods: This cross-sectional study ...
Lung compliance, lung volume and transfer factor for carbon monoxide in anaesthetised sheep: normal values and reproducibility of measurements Home > Section > Chapter Collie, D.D.; Watt, N.J.; Warren, P.M.; Begara, I.; Luján, L.
Spirometry was performed as recommended by the American Thoracic Society, using Vmax22 (SensorMedics, Yorba Linda, CA, USA). Absolute Values of FVC and FEV1 were obtained and the percentage of predicted values (% pred) for FEV1 and FVC were calculated from the following equations obtained in a...
Methods: Thirty three finnish MUL patients (median age 20 years) were investigated with several lung function tests: spirometry with bronchodilatation test, single-breath diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide, single-breath lung volume measurements with helium dilution, and thoracic gas volume, airway ...
Another remarkable result was FR−/LLN+ group showed more negative values of lung function and higher prevalence of SAO than FR−/LLN− group. Respiratory symptoms of people in high altitude may affected by air condition, so spirometry is particularly important for diagnosis and screening of ...
The major reason for these high rates of "abnormal" spirometry lies in the conventional definitions of abnormality. Tables showing cut‐off points for abnormal spirometric values based on a 95% confidence interval for adult males of all ages and heights permit an alternative method for ...
Amongst Pakistani women, on the other hand, FVC and FEV 1 remained lower than in their European counterparts throughout adult life. Maximal expiratory flow rates amongst the men did not correlate with age, and these values were very similar to those reported in age-matched European populations....
