Spirometry is an integral part of any pulmonology practice. Apart from its use to diagnose obstructive and restrictive lung diseases, the shape of the flow volume loop (FVL) in a properly performed ...

Abstract: Pulmonary function testing has been used as a primary tool in assessing an efficiency of the lungs operation. Within that test, maximal flow-volume curves provide clinically useful ...

Pre- and post-exercise flow-volume loops are often recommended as an easy non-invasive method for diagnosing or excluding exercise-induced laryngeal obstructions in patients with exercise-related ...

The flow–volume loop (FVL) analysis is typically helpful in establishing the diagnosis of airway obstruction caused by endobronchial lesions. In this report, we describe a patient with emphysema and ...
