Evaluation of the airflowmeter in the assessment of airways obstruction.
Abstract
The airflowmeter, a new inexpensive instrument measuring severity of airways obstruction in arbitrary units, was found to correlate well with standard respiratory function tests, and to be more sensitive than FEV1 in detecting changes in obstruction. Despite the distortion of maximal expiratory flow-volume relationship induced by the resistance of the meter, and the considerable variability between instruments, the airflowmeter should prove …
