Pre- and post-exercise flow-volume loops are often recommended as an easy non-invasive method for diagnosing or excluding exercise-induced laryngeal obstructions in patients with exercise-related ...

Spirometry with FVL measurement is a vital component of the patient evaluation for respiratory symptoms, and when a properly performed FVL test is abnormal it should prompt a thorough investigation.

Recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) have enabled more sophisticated analyses of full spirometric curves, including flow-volume loops and volume-time curves, facilitating the identification ...

A 36-year-old woman with a six-month history of worsening shortness of breath was admitted to hospital for investigation. She had received a diagnosis of bronchial asthma six months earlier, for which ...

To evaluate the effect of nebulized albuterol on tidal breathing flow-volume loops in infants with bronchiolitis due to respiratory syncytial virus. Tidal breathing flow-volume loops were obtained ...

There are 2 main ways in which patients may experience dyspnea originating in the larynx. First, there may be structural interference with air flow due to an anatomic abnormality. In other words, ...

A 61-year-old patient with pulmonary hypertension due to chronic lung disease (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) was admitted to our intensive care unit with decompensated right-sided heart ...

Reduced lung function in early infancy has been associated with later obstructive airway diseases. We assessed whether reduced lung function shortly after birth predicts asthma 10 years later. La ...
