متن کاملCough characteristics and FVC maneuver in cystic fibrosis.
BACKGROUND Cough is part of life in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). Weak coughing may add to increased respiratory disease that affects the mechanical properties of cough in these patients. In this study, we investigated cough characteristics in relation to forced expiratory flow/volume indices in CF. METHODS This prospective study included 54 subjects (26 ± 10 y old) with CF. Similar ind...
