Measurements of interrupter resistance: reference values for children 3-13 yrs of age.
The interrupter technique is a convenient and sensitive technique for studying airway function in subjects who cannot actively participate in (forced) ventilatory function tests. Reference values for preschool children exist but are lacking for children >7 yrs. Reference values were obtained for expiratory interrupter resistance (R(int,e)) in 208 healthy Dutch Caucasian children 3-13 yrs of age...
متن کاملReference values of interrupter respiratory resistance in healthy preschool white children.
BACKGROUND Interrupter respiratory resistance (Rint) is reported to be useful in evaluating lung function in poorly collaborating patients. However, no reference values are available from large samples of preschool children using the standard interrupter method. The aim of this study was to define reference Rint values in a population of healthy preschool children. METHODS Rint was assessed w...
متن کاملAirway resistance in children measured using the interrupter technique: reference values.
OBJECTIVE The interrupter technique is used for determining interrupter resistance (Rint) during quiet breathing. This noninvasive method requires minimal cooperation and can therefore be useful in evaluating airway obstruction in uncooperative children. To date, no reference values have been determined for Rint in a Brazilian population. The objective of this study was to define a prediction e...
متن کاملPlethysmograph and interrupter resistance measurements in prematurely born young children.
BACKGROUND Airways obstruction in premature infants is often assessed by plethysmography, which requires sedation. The interrupter (Rint) technique does not require sedation, but has rarely been examined in children under 2 years of age. OBJECTIVE To compare Rint results with plethysmographic measurements of airway resistance (Raw) in prematurely born, young children. DESIGN Prospective stu...
متن کاملReference ranges for interrupter resistance technique: the Asthma UK Initiative.
Measuring interrupter resistance (R(int)) is an increasingly popular lung function technique and especially suitable for preschool children because it is simple, quick and requires only passive cooperation. A European Respiratory Society (ERS)/American Thoracic Society (ATS) Task Force recently published empirical recommendations related to procedures, limitations and interpretation of the tech...
