Quality of Spirometry in the Elderly
Wstęp: Spirometria jest podstawową techniką wykorzystywaną w diagnozowaniu i monitorowaniu chorób obturacyjnych. Coraz większą grupę objętą badaniami spirometrycznymi stanowią osoby w wieku podeszłym, które ukończyły 65. rok życia. Celem pracy była ocena jakości wykonania spirometrii (pomiaru krzywej przepływ–objętość) u osób w tej grupie wiekowej w ...

Clinical Significance of Bronchodilator Responsiveness Evaluated by Forced Vital Capacity in COPD: SPIROMICS Cohort Analysis. [PDF]
ObjectiveBronchodilator responsiveness (BDR) is prevalent in COPD, but its clinical implications remain unclear. We explored the significance of BDR, defined by post-bronchodilator change in FEV1 (BDRFEV1) as a measure reflecting the change in flow and ...
