Spirometry reference values for an andean high-altitude population
We compared the spirometric values of people living at High Altitude at the Andean Plateau with those predicted for lowland population. RATIONALE Spirometry reference values are not yet available for the millions of people living at high altitude in the Andean High Plateau. OBJECTIVE To obtain spirometric prediction equations from a healthy subset of adults living in Argentina at 3440m abov...
متن کاملSpirometry reference values in the Brazilian population
The aim of the present study was to provide new spirometry reference equations in a sample of the Brazilian population for the following parameters: forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1), FEV1/FVC ratio, peak of expiratory flow (PEF), forced expiratory flow at 50% (FEF50%), 75% average vital capacity (FEF25-75%), and average forced expiratory flow time (FEFT)....
متن کاملPulse oximetry reference values at high altitude.
Pulse oximetry is becoming popular for measuring oxygen saturation of haemoglobin in paediatric patients. There are no reference values for children living at high altitudes, and the aim of this study was to determine the values of oxygen saturation of haemoglobin in healthy children in Bogota (2640 m above sea level). The saturation was determined in 189 children aged 5 days to 24 months with ...
متن کاملReference values for spirometry in preschool children.
OBJECTIVES Reference values for lung function tests differ in samples from different countries, including values for preschoolers. The main objective of this study was to derive reference values in this population. METHODS A prospective study was conducted through a questionnaire applied to 425 preschool children aged 3 to 6 years, from schools and day-care centers in a metropolitan city in B...
متن کاملReference values for pulse oximetry at high altitude.
OBJECTIVE To determine reference values for oxygen saturation (Sao2) in healthy children younger than 5 years living at high altitude. DESIGN One hundred and sixty eight children were examined for Sao2 at 4018 m during well child visits. Physiological state was also noted during the examination. RESULTS The mean Sao2 was 87.3% (95% confidence intervals (CI) 86.7%, 87.9%) with a median value...
