چکیده
Results Our results shows that these patients end expiratory volume (EEV) increased by 14 +/0.4 % compared to quiet breathing during maximum exercise before surgery (P < 0.002). This dynamic hyperinflation or air trapping during exercise was corrected after surgery. Postoperatively their EEV decreased during maximum exercise by 2.3 +/1.4 % at 5 months respectively (P 0.001). The end inspiratory volume did not change significantly. This was associated with an 38 % increase in exercise time 5 months after surgical correction (P < 0.05).
