Changes in maximum expiratory flow-volume curve configuration after treatment with inhaled corticosteroids.
The present study reports the changes in configuration of maximal flow-volume curves after eight weeks' treatment with inhaled corticosteroids in 14 asthmatic patients. The configuration was compared with that seen after bronchodilatation following inhalation of a single dose of ipratropium bromide. After inhaled corticosteroids the shape of the flow-volume curves was less bowed toward the volu...

15 صفحه اولRespiratory symptoms and the maximum expiratory flow-volume curve; a multivariate approach.
Information on the size and shape of about 8500 maximum expiratory flow-volume (MEFV) curves was related multivariately to respiratory symptoms to construct a sensitive measure of airflow limitation. The data were obtained in an epidemiological follow-up study of a normal population in The Netherlands. Using non-linear canonical correlation analysis, thirteen variables from each curve yielded t...
متن کاملIntrasubject variability of maximal expiratory flow volume curve.
Analysis of airflow in the terminal portion of the maximal expiratory flow volume curve has been suggested as a useful test for the early diagnosis of chronic airways obstruction. Whether such an analysis can identify early disease, and whether any subsequent action can prevent the progress of chronic airways obstruction, is unknown and will require prospective studies. As a precursor of such a...
متن کاملRelationship between spontaneous expiratory flow-volume curve pattern and air-flow obstruction in elderly COPD patients.
BACKGROUND Assessment of the degree of air-flow obstruction is important for determining the treatment strategy in COPD patients. However, in some elderly COPD patients, measuring FVC is impossible because of cognitive dysfunction or severe dyspnea. In such patients a simple test of airways obstruction requiring only a short run of tidal breathing would be useful. We studied whether the spontan...
