Forced expiratory volume in the 6 s and forced expiratory volume in the 1 s/forced expiratory volume in the 6 s for early detection of airflow obstruction

چکیده
Use of affordable and simple tools for screening chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is limited. In recent years, measurement forced expiratory volume in the 6 s (FEV6) has been researched as a substitute to replace vital capacity measurements. This work was performed analyze effectiveness simplified handheld flowmeter device search an optimal cutoff value FEV1/FEV6 detect airflow narrowing limitation.

Precipitous fall of the forced expiratory volume.
Patients attending hospital on account of chronic airways obstruction usually present with breathlessness. Most, at this stage, are found to have a severe reduction of the forced expiratory volume (F.E.V.), but little is known about the nature of the deterioration in ventilatory function in earlier phases of the illness. Two patients are described to show how precipitous this deterioration may ...
متن کاملForced expiratory volume before and after isoprenaline.
Improvement in the results of tests of ventilatory function in response to a bronchodilator drug, given by inhalation or by injection, is now widely used to indicate the presence of reversible " bronchospasm" (Rossier, 1949; Gilson and Hugh-Jones, 1955; Kennedy and Thursby-Pelham, 1956). Frequent repetition of some of these tests in a small series of patients has revealed an interesting relatio...
متن کاملVariability of relaxed expiratory volume and forced inspiratory volume.
Measurements of relaxed expiratory volume in one second (REV1.0) and forced inspiratory volume in one second (FIV1.0) were made on 50 subjects on two occasions to know the variability of these procedures in the individual subject. The mean coefficients of variation for REV1.0 and FIV1.0 were 6740' and 892%, respectively. The 95% confidence limit of difference between highest readings obtained o...
متن کاملEffort and the forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV).
1. The relationship between volumes expired and the maximum intrathoracic pressures developed within the first second of expiration was examined in a group of healthy subjects and patients with airways obstruction who exhaled with varying degrees of effort. 2. The body plethysmographic method was used to ensure that expirations started from total lung capacity. 3. Three different types of volum...
متن کاملNew concepts for expressing forced expiratory volume in 1 s: conclusions need nuances.
We read with interest the recent publication by MILLER and PEDERSEN [1] on determining the best way of expressing lung function impairment for prediction of mortality. The authors ranked the methods of expressing forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1). It was concluded that the FEV1 quotient (Q) was the best predictor. We believe that this outcome is in need for some nuances. This ranking is, i...
