Relationships between specific airway resistance and forced expiratory flows in asthmatic children.

Relationships between specific airway resistance and forced expiratory flows in asthmatic children.

BACKGROUND: The earliest changes associated with airflow obstruction in asthmatic children are a proportionally greater reduction in FEF(50%) than in FEV(1) using spirometry, and an increase in specific airway resistance (sRaw) using body plethysmography. Consequently, we hypothesized that sRaw coul...
