Spirometric Evaluation of Pulmonary Function Tests in Bronchial Asthma Patients
Asthma is a complex, recurrent disease of the airways that causes shortness of breath, wheezing, and cough (particularly at night or early in the morning). Asthma is episodic in nature and usually reversible, either spontaneously or with treatment. However, chronic inflammation, associated with persistent symptoms, may contribute to airway remodeling that may not be completely reversible. Airfl...
متن کاملShort-term variations in oscillatory and spirometric lung function indices among school children.
The aim of this study was to compare immediate, daily and weekly variation in respiratory resistance measured by means of the forced oscillation technique (Rrs,FOT) to spirometric indices in 7-12 year old children with chronic respiratory symptoms. The lung function measurements were performed in 19 children on 4 days, i.e. two consecutive days during two consecutive weeks. On each day, the mea...
متن کاملPulmonary function tests in school children.
Pulmonary Function tests were measured in 261 healthy boys and 254 healthy girls in the age group of 6 to 15 years with standard Benidects Roth type recording spirometer and Wrights Peak Flow Meter. The values of Pulmonary Functions were found to be increased with increase in age. For vital capacity this relation was curvilinear. All values were higher in boys than girls. There was significant ...
متن کاملLung function tests in normal Indian children.
The forced vital capacity, forced expiratory volume in one second, peak expiratory flow, mid-expiratory flow and maximum voluntary ventilation was measured in 632 healthy, normal children from Metropolitan city of Bombay using computerized spirometer. The children were between age range 6 years to 15 years and belong to high or middle and lower socio economic status. The pulmonary function data...
متن کاملLung Function Tests in Preschool Children.
The measurement of lung function by spirometry is routinely used to monitor and adequately treat children with asthma. The assessment and evaluation of lung function in children aged 3-5 years has been neglected for a long time because of the difficulty to perform forced expiratory maneuvers. However, the use of techniques such as the interrupter technique and the forced oscillation technique, ...
