Peak flow measurement in children suspected of having asthma is as helpful in making the diagnosis as it is in adults. Peak flow can be measured in most children over the age of 5 and, occasionally, younger than this. It is important when teaching the technique that a balance is achieved ...
We conclude that asymptomatic children with methacholine airway hyperresponsiveness have other evidence of mild variable airflow obstruction with increased diurnal PEF variability, and can perceive airflow limitation. The lack of symptoms in the children with airway hyperresponsiveness could be due to an ...
Earlier decline in sniff nasal inspiratory pressure than peak expiratory flow in children with Duchenne muscular dystrophy 来自 Semantic Scholar 喜欢 0 阅读量: 31 作者:V Neve,JL Edme,R Matran 摘要: To the Editor: In Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), progressive weakness of the respiratory ...
Besides using the peak flow calculator to get your value, there is also the option of reading it from a nomogram, in this case a peak flow chart. It doesn't take race into account, and it's age-limited (it won't show peak expiratory flow for children), but it is user-friendly, ...
Measurement of peak expiratory flow rates in 220 normal children from 4.5 to 18.5 years of age An indirect estimate of airway obstruction may be obtained from the measurement of peak expiratory flow rates provided respiratory muscle strength is within normal limits. The present study reports normal ...

A further disadvantage of a long flow path is a potential increase in the device's resistance. The higher the resistance of the device, the greater the effort a patient has to make in order to achieve a given flow rate [28]. The flow rate achieved may be important in determining the pe...
