Estimating Airway Resistance from Forced Expiration in Spirometry

Estimating Airway Resistance from Forced Expiration in Spirometry

Spirometry is the gold standard to detect airflow limitation, but it does not measure airway resistance, which is one of the physiological factors behind airflow limitation. In this study, we describe the dynamics of forced expiration in spirometry using a deflating balloon and using this model. We...
