Repeatability of airway resistance measurements made using the interrupter technique.
BACKGROUND To be able to interpret any measurement, its repeatability should be known. This study reports the repeatability of airway resistance measurements using the interrupter technique (Rint) in children with and without respiratory symptoms. METHODS Children aged 2-10 years who were healthy, had persistent isolated cough, or who had previous wheeze were studied. On the same occasion, th...

متن کاملAssessing the measurement of airway resistance by the interrupter technique.
INTRODUCTION Pulmonary function tests allow an objective assessment of the degree of bronchial obstruction in collaborative subjects. The measurement of airway resistance using passive methods is very helpful in non-collaborative subjects. The objective of this study was to assess the applicability of measuring airway resistance by the interrupter technique (Rint) in pediatric subjects, determi...
متن کاملMeasurement of airway resistance using the interrupter technique in preschool children in the ambulatory setting.
This study describes the feasibility, repeatability, and interrater reliability of the measurement of airway resistance by the interrupter technique (Rint) in children 2-5 yrs of age, and examines whether reversibility to bronchodilator can be demonstrated in wheezy children. The mean of six Rint values was taken as a measurement. If subjects could complete one measurement and then a second 15 ...
متن کاملAirway resistance in children measured using the interrupter technique: reference values.
OBJECTIVE The interrupter technique is used for determining interrupter resistance (Rint) during quiet breathing. This noninvasive method requires minimal cooperation and can therefore be useful in evaluating airway obstruction in uncooperative children. To date, no reference values have been determined for Rint in a Brazilian population. The objective of this study was to define a prediction e...
