Nasal peak inspiratory flow at altitudeFor
Nasal peak inspiratory flow at altitude. P.W. Barry, N.P. Mason, J-P. Richalet. #ERS Journals Ltd 2002. ABSTRACT: The present study investigated whether there are changes in nasal peak inspiratory flow (NPIF) during hypobaric hypoxia under controlled environmental conditions. During operation Everest III (COMEX 997), eight subjects ascended to a simulated altitude of 8,848 m in a hypobaric cham...
متن کاملThe clinical value of peak nasal inspiratory flow, peak oral inspiratory flow, and the nasal patency index.
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS The aim of this study was to ascertain the most reliable objective measurement for the assessment of nasal patency by investigating the relationship between peak nasal inspiratory flow, peak oral inspiratory flow, and the nasal patency index in relation to the patient's subjective perception regarding nasal obstruction. STUDY DESIGN Prospective cohort study. METHODS Th...
متن کاملPeak Expiratory Flow Rate in Healthy Children from Tehran
Background: Measuring peak expiratory flow rate has been suggested as an important tool in asthma management by all international guidelines. Objective: Studies on various populations have shown considerable variations in normal values of peak expiratory flow rate. Since reference standards for Iranian children are not available, the present study was performed to establish these standards. Me...
متن کاملPeak expiratory flow at altitude.
The mini Wright peak flow meter is a useful, portable instrument for field studies but being sensitive to air density will under-read at altitude. True peak expiratory flow will increase at altitude, however, because of the decreased air density, given that dynamic resistance is unchanged. The effect of simulated altitude on peak expiratory flow (PEF) was determined in six subjects with both th...
متن کاملPeak expiratory flow (PEF) monitoring.
T he Wright peak expiratory flow meter was introduced in 1959 and provided a portable piece of equipment for assessing some aspects of lung function in the ambulatory care setting. The original device has been supplanted by the mini Wright peak flow meter (and a range of other devices) which have become relatively cheap but are reasonably reliable for home monitoring. So, with an available devi...
