The Effect of Reduction of Maintenance Treatment on Circadian Variation in Peak Expiratory Flow Rate Values in Asthmatic Children [PDF]
We investigated in well controlled asthmatic children whether it is possible to predict by measuring daytime forced expiratory volume in one second, the decline in nocturnal peak expiratory flow rate values after withdrawal of maintenance medication ...

Maximum Expiratory Flow Rates in Induced Bronchoconstriction in Man [PDF]
A B S T R A C T We evaluated changes of maximum expiratory flow-volume (MEFV) curves and of partial expiratory flow-volume (PEFV) curves caused by bronchoconstrictor drugs and dust, and compared these to the reverse changes induced by a bronchodilator ...

Transit time analysis of the forced expiratory spirogram in growth [PDF]
In the search for more sensitive indicators of airway obstruction Fish et al. (Am. Rev. Respirat. Diseases 109: 700, 1974) have proposed a transit time analysis of the forced expiratory spirogram.

There are limited studies directly comparing correlation and agreement between peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR) and forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) for severity classification of COPD. However, clarifying the role of PEFR as a surrogate of COPD severity classification instead of FEV1 is essential in situations and areas where spirometry is ...

The difficulty in performing FEV1 in young children prompted us to assess whether PEFR could be used to measure the response to inhaled histamine. In 123 children with recurrent respiratory symptoms we found a highly significant correlation (r = 0.83, P less than 0.001) between the percentage fall from base-line of FEV1 and PEFR.

Relationship between sRaw0.5 and forced expiratory flow rates as assessed by Spearman's signed rank test. [PDF]
*Spearman correlation coefficient, data adjusted for age and height.**FEF25–75%/FVC ratio is a crude index of airway size relative to lung size [18].Correlation coefficients are calculated for expiratory flow rates expressed in terms of both absolute and

Normal values of forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume (FEV 1-0), and peak flow rate (PFR) in children. [PDF]
The normal values in children for the forced vital capacity (FVC), the forced expiratory volume in one second (FEVI.,), and the peak flow rate (PFR) have been determined in a group of 261 healthy schoolchildren. Charts which allow the ready determination of these values have been presented.
