Can flow-volume loops be used to diagnose exercise-induced laryngeal obstructions? A comparison study examining the accuracy and inter-rater agreement of flow volume loops as a diagnostic tool.

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 source of the obstruction can be determined with the use of pulmonary-function testing, in which the characteristic patterns produced in flow-volume curves serve to distinguish upper-airway ...

The diagnosis is (a) upper airway obstruction, and the next step is (c) order a lateral chest radiograph and a CT scan. We made the diagnosis with the help of the flow–volume loop, which was ...

Reduced lung function in early infancy has been associated with later obstructive airway diseases. We assessed whether reduced lung function shortly after birth predicts asthma 10 years later. We c ...
