Test quality was slightly better for post-BD test sessions compared with pre-BD for both groups of research assistants. Independent predictors of acceptable test quality included participant characteristics: female sex, younger age, greater BD responsiveness; but not study site or prior experience in...
“pre-COPD” as presence of > 5% of emphysema and (or) bronchial thickening by computed chromatography (CT) scan and (or) diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (DLCO) < 80% of predicted in subjects with respiratory symptoms and post-bronchodilator forced expiratory volume ...
FEV1: forced expiratory volume in 1 s; FVC: forced vital capacity; SVC: slow vital capacity; reversibility: %: [(post-bronchodilator FEV1 - pre-bronchodilator FEV1)/pre-bronchodilator FEV1]· 100; ml: post-bronchodilator FEV1 - pre-bronchodilator FEV1; FEF25–75%, %: mean forced expiratory ...
People with older age and lower FEV1%pred tend to have a smaller FVC than VC in pre-bronchodilator pulmonary function test. Acknowledgement The authors would like to thank the technicians in pulmonary function test department for their hard work.References...

(i.e., pre-bronchodilator FEV1/FVC < 0.7)12 or who showed abnormal pulmonary findings in preoperative examination when abnormal pulmonary findings were defined as pulmonary radiologic findings of atelectasis or pleural effusion in preoperative examination, pulmonary infection within 1 month, and ...
Then, 90% and 95% of all manoeuvres had FEV1 and FVC that were repeatable within 150聽ml and 200聽ml respectively. Test quality was slightly better for post-BD test sessions compared with pre-BD for both groups of research assistants. Independent predictors of acceptable test quality included ...
The postbronchodilator reference values for FEV1, FEV1/FVC, and FEV1/FEV6 were on average 3% higher than those obtained before bronchodilation. This apparently small difference caused an upward shift in the 5th percentile (lower limit of normal) of the predicted values. W...
The study was designed on the premise that PRISm may represent a functional pattern in the transition from normal lung function to early airflow obstruction and that bronchodilator (BD) testing may help unravel its clinical significance. By examining pre-BD and post-BD spirometries, the authors ...
The increase in FEV1 and VC occurred during the first 5 days after presentation, with a median increase in postbronchodilator FEV1 of 55 ml (IQR, 63 to 128, p = 0.003) and VC of 90 ml (IQR 78 to 308 ml, p < 0.001). The improvement in prebronchodilator values related to the ...
