We evaluate the clinical value of pulmonary function testing in infants. 194 infants were examined over a period of two years. Pulmonary function testing was found valuable in adjusting the ventilator to avoid overdistension of the lungs in the treatment of severe respiratory distress syndrome. In patients with bronchopulmonary dysplasi, forced expiratory flows were valuable in evaluating the degree of obstruction and for testing drug effects. Both systems used (Pulmonary Evaluation and Diagnostic System (PEDS) and Partial Forced Flow System (PUFFS)) were found to be user friendly.
我们评估了肺功能测试在婴儿中的临床价值。在两年时间里对194名婴儿进行了检查。结果发现，肺功能测试在调整呼吸机以避免在治疗严重呼吸窘迫综合征时肺部过度扩张方面很有价值。在支气管肺发育不良的患者中，用力呼气流量在评估阻塞程度和测试药物效果方面很有价值。所使用的两个系统（肺评估和诊断系统（PEDS）和部分用力流量系统（PUFFS））都被发现对用户很友好。
