Diurnal variability in airways has most commonly been reported using peak expiratory flow (PEF) and forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1). Characteristics of variability in small, mid and large airways caliber are expected to be different but have not been studied.
The aim of the study was to assess diurnal variation in small mid and large airways caliber using FEF25, FEF50, FEF75 and FEF25-75 along with PEF and FEV1 in healthy subjects.
Spirometry was performed in 161 healthy subjects twice in a day. Diurnal variability in FEF25, FEF50, FEF75, FEF25-75, PEF and FEV1 were determined and compared.
It revealed that all parameters exhibit significant diurnal variability. Diurnal variability is highest in large airways and lowest in smaller airways.
Proximal airways show greater diurnal variation in their caliber than distal airways as reflected by greater variability in PEF as compared to FEV1.
气道的昼夜变化最常通过呼气峰值流速(PEF)和一秒用力呼气容积(FEV1)来报告。小气道、中等气道和大气道管径变化的特征预计会有所不同,但尚未得到研究。
本研究的目的是在健康受试者中,使用用力呼气流量25%(FEF25)、用力呼气流量50%(FEF50)、用力呼气流量75%(FEF75)和用力呼气流量25%-75%(FEF25-75)以及PEF和FEV1来评估小气道、中等气道和大气道管径的昼夜变化。
对161名健康受试者进行一天两次的肺活量测定。测定并比较FEF25、FEF50、FEF75、FEF25-75、PEF和FEV1的昼夜变化。
结果显示所有参数均呈现显著的昼夜变化。大气道的昼夜变化最大,小气道的昼夜变化最小。
近端气道管径的昼夜变化大于远端气道,这可通过与FEV1相比PEF更大的变化反映出来。
