Effects of upper respiratory infections on the forced expiratory volumes and flow rates.

Authors: S, Walter;

Effects of upper respiratory infections on the forced expiratory volumes and flow rates.

Abstract

The effects of an upper respiratory infection on some commonly measured spirometric indices have been determined in this study. The forcod vital capacity, forced expiratory volume in one second, forced expiratory flow in the middle half of the vital capacity and the peak expiratory flow were significantly lower during the infection. This stresses the need in cross sectional and longitudinal pulmonary function evaluation, to avoid testing a subject while he has an upper respiratory infection.
