Spirometry quality in adults with very severe lung function impairment.
BACKGROUND Some technologists worry that patients with very severe lung disease are unable to complete several spirometry maneuvers, which require considerable effort. METHODS We retrospectively selected all spirometry tests with an FEV1 < 35% predicted done by adult subjects sent to our pulmonary function laboratory during a 3-y period. We determined the rates and correlates of poor quality ...
متن کاملSerum Methylarginines and Spirometry-Measured Lung Function in Older Adults
RATIONALE Methylarginines are endogenous nitric oxide synthase inhibitors that have been implicated in animal models of lung disease but have not previously been examined for their association with spirometric measures of lung function in humans. OBJECTIVES This study measured serum concentrations of asymmetric and symmetric dimethylarginine in a representative sample of older community-dwell...
متن کاملCharacterization of Lung Function Impairment in Adults with Bronchiectasis
BACKGROUND Characteristics of lung function impairment in bronchiectasis is not fully understood. OBJECTIVES To determine the factors associated with lung function impairment and to compare changes in spirometry during bronchiectasis exacerbation and convalescence (1 week following 14-day antibiotic therapy). METHODS We recruited 142 patients with steady-state bronchiectasis, of whom 44 wit...
متن کاملSleep quality and daytime function in adults with cystic fibrosis and severe lung disease.
It was hypothesized that adult cystic fibrosis (CF) patients with severe lung disease have impaired daytime function related to nocturnal hypoxaemia and sleep disruption. Nineteen CF patients (forced expiratory volume in one second 28+/-7% predicted) and 10 healthy subjects completed sleep diaries, overnight polysomnography (PSG), and assessment of daytime sleepiness and neurocognitive function...
متن کاملLung Function in Very Low Birth Weight Adults.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Lung function attained in young adulthood is 1 of the strongest predictors of obstructive airways disease in later life. Adults born preterm at very low birth weight (VLBW; <1500 g) who have experienced bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) have reduced lung function. We studied the association of lung function in young adulthood with preterm birth at VLBW and with BPD and ...
