Lung volumes and expiratory flow limitation during exercise in interstitial lung disease

open access: yes, 1994
Lung volumes were measured at rest and during exercise by an open-circuit N2-washout technique in patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD). Exercise tidal flow-volume (F-V) curves were also compared with maximal F-V curves to investigate whether ...

Effect of lung volume on forced expiratory flows during rapid thoracoabdominal compression in infants

open access: yes, 1995
The rapid thoracoabdominal compression (RTC) technique is commonly used in pulmonary function laboratories to assess flow-volume relationships in infants unable to produce a voluntary forced expiration maneuver. This technique produces forced expiratory

[Analysis of maximal expiratory flow-volume curves--visual evaluation and quantitative evaluation].

open access: yesNihon eiseigaku zasshi. Japanese journal of hygiene, 1991
Maximal expiratory flow-volume (MEFV) curves have been utilized in the diagnosis of chronic obstructive lung diseases, in the survey of air pollution, and in studies of respiratory functions in school children. Indices for the lower lung volumes of MEFV curves have been used in statistical analysis or individual evaluation because of their effort ...

Physiological and morphological determinants of maximal expiratory flow in chronic obstructive lung disease [PDF]

open access: yes, 1996
Maximal expiratory flow in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) could be reduced by three different mechanisms; loss of lung elastic recoil, decreased airway conductance upstream of flow-limiting segments; and ...

Dependence of maximal flow-volume curves on time course of preceding inspiration

open access: yes, 1993
Thirteen normal subjects, sitting in a body plethysmograph and breathing through a pneumotachograph, performed forced vital capacity maneuvers after a rapid inspiration without or with an end-inspiratory pause (maneuvers 1 and 2) and after a slow ...

Effect of volume history on successive partial expiratory flow-volume maneuvers

open access: yes, 1976
In normal subjects, the second of two successive partial expiratory flow-volume (PEFV 2) curves often had higher isovolume maximal expiratory flow rates (Vmax) than the first (PEFV 1) (mean increase 30.2 +/- 13%).

Effort and volume dependence of forced-deflation flow-volume relationships in intubated infants

open access: yes, 1996
The application of negative pressure to the airway opening [called the forced-deflation (FD) technique] allows the examination of maximal expiratory flow-volume curves in intubated infants who are unable to generate a voluntary maximal expiratory ...

Effect of compression pressure on forced expiratory flow in infants

open access: yes, 1986
The effect of the force of compression on expiratory flow was evaluated in 19 infants (2-13 mo of age) with respiratory illnesses of varying severity. An inflatable cuff was used to compress the chest and abdomen.
