Comparison between peak expiratory flow rate and forced expiratory volume in one second in the evaluation of children suspected to have asthma.

Iranian journal of allergy, asthma, and immunology, 2004
This study was conducted to evaluate whether forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) for the diagnosis of bronchial reactivity by means of the free-running exercise test and bronchodilator inhalation, could be appropriately replaced by simple measurements of peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR) in children.We studied 108 referred symptomatic children ...

Forced expiratory volume and expiratory flow rate in Black miners and in a control group.

South African medical journal = Suid-Afrikaanse tydskrif vir geneeskunde, 1976
The peak expiratory flow rate and the forced expiratory volume and 1 second were measured in 772 Black miners who did not have pneumoconiosis, tuberculosis or chronic bronchitis. The same tests were done in 164 non-mining workers. It was found that exposure to dust associated with the miners' work had no effect on the results of these tests.

Study Of Forced Vital Capacity, FEV1 And Peak Expiratory Flow Rate In Normal, Obstructive And Restrictive Group Of Diseases

, 2013
In India, due to smoking, environmental pollution, use of bio mass as a fuel in rural areas etc, there is increase in incidence of pulmonary disorders. Hence, a review of pulmonary function tests is needed. This study has therefore been carried out to reassess the pulmonary function values in normal, Indian population and to check their variations in ...

Efficacy of using a mechanical insufflation-exsufflation versus manual respiratory physiotherapy on cough peak flow in hospitalised older adults in French hospitals: a protocol for a single-blind randomised clinical trial

BMJ Open
Introduction Ageing impairs the respiratory system, increasing hospitalisation rates for respiratory problems in older adults. In cases of bronchial congestion, a weak cough in older inpatients challenges respiratory physiotherapy.
