Peak 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 کاملNormal measurement of peak expiratory Flow rate in the high school children in Babol, north of Iran
Background: Peak Expiratory Flow Rate (PEFR) is recommended as a tool for control of asthma. The purpose of this study was to determine the normal value of PEFR in the healthy high school children in Babol, Iran. Methods: This study was conducted on 470 healthy high school children (285 girls, 185 boys with the age between 14-18 years). For the determination of PEFR we used Mini Wright Peak Flo...

متن کاملMetals in Particulate Pollutants Affect Peak Expiratory Flow of Schoolchildren
BACKGROUND The contribution of the metal components of particulate pollutants to acute respiratory effects has not been adequately evaluated. Moreover, little is known about the effects of genetic polymorphisms of xenobiotic metabolism on pulmonary function. OBJECTIVES This study was conducted to assess lung function decrement associated with metal components in particulate pollutants and gen...
متن کاملReference values for peak flow and FEV1 variation in healthy schoolchildren using home spirometry.
Current reference values for diurnal peak flow variation in healthy children (median 8.2%; 95th percentile 31%) are so high that considerable overlap exists with those of asthmatic children. These values have been obtained using written peak flow diaries, which are unreliable. The aim of the present study was to obtain reliable reference values for the variation in peak flow and forced expirato...
