Plain radiology is the standard means of assessing upper airway obstruction in patients with goiters. Flow volume loop curves will provide additional information, because they allow a quantitative assessment of airflow dynamics in the respiratory cycle. Fifty-one patients had flow volume loops performed before and after thyroidectomy. There was a significant increase in the maximum inspiratory flow rate (3.9 +/- 0.2 versus 4.9 +/- 0.2 L/second, p less than 0.01) after thyroidectomy. Eight of twelve patients with normal tracheal radiology had improved airflow dynamics in the postoperative period. The flow volume loop curve is a simple noninvasive means of assessing airflow dynamics in patients with goiters and may be superior to conventional radiology.
普通放射学是评估甲状腺肿患者上呼吸道梗阻的标准方法。流量容积环曲线可提供额外信息，因为它们能对呼吸周期中的气流动力学进行定量评估。51例患者在甲状腺切除术前和术后进行了流量容积环检查。甲状腺切除术后最大吸气流量率显著增加（从3.9±0.2升/秒增至4.9±0.2升/秒，p<0.01）。12例气管放射学检查正常的患者中有8例在术后气流动力学得到改善。流量容积环曲线是评估甲状腺肿患者气流动力学的一种简单无创方法，可能优于传统放射学检查。
