Abstract

Spirometry is a essential test for assessing pulmonary function. This test is frequently used in

Sonographic Measurement of the Quadriceps Muscle in Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

“…Patients completed spirometry tests before and after the administration of 400 μg of albuterol (a β 2 agonist bronchodilator), according to international guidelines 28 . Spirometric measurements were standardized as percentages of the predicted values by using established Chilean prediction equations 29 …”

Exposure to Fine Particles by Mine Tailing and Lung Function Effects in a Panel of Schoolchildren, Chañaral, Chile

“…The children underwent spirometry testing during the school day (morning) at their respective schools, approximately every 2 weeks, from November 12, 2012 to May 10, 2013. Personnel were trained according to the international norms issued by the American Thoracic Society (ATS) guidelines [23], translated and adapted by the Chilean Society of Respiratory Diseases in 2006 [24]. A portable Easy One Spirometer ® was used for the measurements.…”

“…Forced vital capacity maneuvers were performed. Spirometric curves that met ATS acceptability and reproducibility criteria were selected for analysis [24]. At least 3 maneuvers were performed.…”

Función pulmonar pre y post operatoria en bypass gástrico laparotómico y laparoscópico por obesidad mórbida

“…Las mediciones espirométricas incluyeron: capacidad vital forzada (CVF), volumen espiratorio forzado en el primer segundo (VEF 1 ), relación volumen espiratorio forzado en el primer segundo/capacidad vital forzada (VEF 1 /CVF%), y flujo espiratorio forzado entre el 25%-75% de la CVF (FEF25-75%). Se estableció el tipo y graduación de las alteraciones espirométricas según los criterios establecidos por la Sociedad Chilena de Enfermedades Respiratorias 28 . Gasometría arterial en el preoperatorio y, al 1º y 5º día después de la operación, siendo los gases arteriales PaO 2 (VN 73,6 mmHg) y PaCO 2 (VN 38 a 42 mmHg).…”
