Peak inspiratory flow as predictor for tracheotomy

Nasal peak inspiratory flow at altitudeFor

Nasal peak inspiratory flow at altitude. P.W. Barry, N.P. Mason, J-P. Richalet. #ERS Journals Ltd 2002. ABSTRACT: The present study investigated whether there are changes in nasal peak inspiratory flow (NPIF) during hypobaric hypoxia under controlled environmental conditions. During operation Everest III (COMEX 997), eight subjects ascended to a simulated altitude of 8,848 m in a hypobaric cham...

The clinical value of peak nasal inspiratory flow, peak oral inspiratory flow, and the nasal patency index.

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS The aim of this study was to ascertain the most reliable objective measurement for the assessment of nasal patency by investigating the relationship between peak nasal inspiratory flow, peak oral inspiratory flow, and the nasal patency index in relation to the patient's subjective perception regarding nasal obstruction. STUDY DESIGN Prospective cohort study. METHODS Th...

Peak nasal inspiratory flow as outcome for provocation studies in allergen exposure chambers: a GA2LEN study

BACKGROUND The GA2LEN chamber has been developed as a novel mobile allergen exposure chamber (AEC) allowing standardized multicenter trials in allergy. Hitherto, subjective nasal symptom scores have been the most often used outcome parameter, but in standardized modern trials objective parameters are preferred. Despite its practicability, the objective parameter peak nasal inspiratory flow (PNI...
