Lung function and postural changes during pregnancy

The aim of this study was to determine the effects of postural changes on lung function in pregnant women during the first, second, third trimester and post partum. A significant decrease in FRC, PEF and FEV 1 was observed as a result of the postural changes. Arterial oxygenation, MVV and DLCO remai...

Zusammenfassung:The aim of this study was to determine the effects of postural changes on lung function in pregnant women during the first, second, third trimester and post partum. A significant decrease in FRC, PEF and FEV 1 was observed as a result of the postural changes. Arterial oxygenation, MVV and DLCO remained largely the same.
