The author has investigated the feasibility of DME 25--75/C.V. as a test for the detection of ventilatory disturbances of the small aerial pathways, by comparing the results with those of other tests considered to be very sensitive, such as Vmax 50% and 25% of C.V., Vmax 50% and 25% of C.V. of an air curve and that of a He-O2 mixture (80%--20%), and the isoflow volume. The study was carried out in 90 subjects, divided in two groups in relation to the values obtained by the DME 25--75/C.V., as follows : 44 subjects with bronchial obstruction and 46 subjects showing functional signs of obstruction of the small aerial pathways. The results have indicated that the two populations classified according to this criterium are statistically different also with regard to other tests applied, indicating the feasibility of the test under study, which, compared to other tests, has the advantage of higher sensitivity in relation to the simplicity of the device.
作者通过将DME 25--75/C.V.的检测结果与其他被认为非常敏感的检测结果进行比较，研究了DME 25--75/C.V.作为检测小气道通气障碍的一种测试方法的可行性，这些检测包括Vmax 50%和25%的C.V.、空气曲线及氦氧混合气（80%--20%）的Vmax 50%和25%的C.V.，以及等流量容积。该研究在90名受试者中进行，根据DME 25--75/C.V.获得的值将他们分为两组，如下：44名患有支气管阻塞的受试者和46名显示小气道阻塞功能体征的受试者。结果表明，根据该标准分类的这两个人群在应用的其他检测方面在统计学上也存在差异，这表明所研究的测试方法是可行的，与其他测试相比，该测试方法具有设备简单但灵敏度更高的优势。
