Feasibility, quality and added value of unsupervised at-home spirometry in primary care

npj Primary Care Respiratory Medicine
At-home spirometry could provide added value for the diagnosis and monitoring of obstructive pulmonary disease in primary care. However, it is unknown whether implementation in a real-world setting is practicable and produces good quality spirometry.

The utility of spirometry in assessment of presumptive diagnosis of bronchial asthma in a Nigerian tertiary hospital

Indian Journal of Respiratory Care, 2019
Context: Spirometry with reversibility testing is the gold standard for definitive diagnosis of bronchial asthma. However, even in those with established bronchial asthma reversibility test result may subsequently become negative.

The association between spirometry measurement quality, cognitive function, and mortality

Archives of Public Health
Background Population studies that assess lung function usually exclude results of individuals with poor-quality measurements, which often means excluding many subjects.

Acute effects of THC and a CBD+THC combination on cardiovascular haemodynamics and respiratory muscle activity during loaded breathing in healthy adults: A randomized placebo‐controlled crossover study

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims This study aimed to evaluate the acute effects of cannabidiol plus tetrahydrocannabinol (CBD+THC) and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) oils on cardiovascular haemodynamics, respiratory muscle activity and peripheral tissue perfusion in healthy adults. Methods In this randomized, double‐blind, crossover trial, participants received orally administered ...

A culturally appropriate indigenous spirometry training program-A means to imporve quantity and quality of spirometry performed in primary care

, 2018
Introduction Health workers (HW) trained and mentored in the Indigenous Health Worker spirometry training program (STP) and who are supported by their managers are more likely to do spirometry (spiro) and achieve quality test results.

Non‐Invasive Estimation of Systemic Drug Exposure Using Exhaled Breath Metabolomics in Humans: A Translational Proof‐of‐Concept Study

Clinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Accurate assessment of systemic drug exposure in humans remains challenging, as conventional approaches rely on intermittent blood sampling and laboratory‐based assays that are invasive and provide limited temporal resolution. Exhaled breath contains volatile and semi‐volatile compounds arising from drug metabolism and downstream biological processes ...

Comparison of respiratory muscle activities and cardiovascular function during different breathing types in healthy adults: Costal breathing, flow incentive spirometry, and volume incentive spirometry.

PLoS ONE
BackgroundVarious breathing exercises are used to enhance lung function. However, many patients have reported experiencing breathlessness and an increased work of breathing during their use, but evidence supporting this is limited.
