Interrupter technique versus plethysmography for measurement of respiratory resistance in children with asthma or cystic fibrosis

The purpose of the present study was to compare measurements of respiratory system resistance by the interrupter method (Rrsint) with those of airway resistance by plethysmography (Raw) in nonobstructed children with asthma or cystic fibrosis (ratio of forced expiratory volume in 1 sec to vital capa...

Zusammenfassung:The purpose of the present study was to compare measurements of respiratory system resistance by the interrupter method (Rrsint) with those of airway resistance by plethysmography (Raw) in nonobstructed children with asthma or cystic fibrosis (ratio of forced expiratory volume in 1 sec to vital capacity, FEV1/VC ≥80% with a forced expiratory flow rate between 25–75% of forced vital capacity, FEF25–75 ≥75% of normal values) and in obstructed children with the same diseases (FEV1/VC
