Physiologic evaluation of bronchial asthma is extremely valuable. Simple objective measurements of expiratory airflow and lung volume help physicians determine disease status and monitor patient response to therapy. More elaborate measurements of pulmonary function are not commonly needed in primary care practice. The three case studies described in this article show that objective assessment of lung function is critical in effective treatment of asthma.
支气管哮喘的生理评估极具价值。对呼气气流和肺容量进行简单的客观测量有助于医生确定疾病状态并监测患者对治疗的反应。在初级医疗实践中，通常不需要进行更复杂的肺功能测量。本文所描述的三个案例研究表明，肺功能的客观评估对哮喘的有效治疗至关重要。
