ABSTRACT
To explore the clinical significance of changes in maximal expiratory flow in 50% and 25% vital capacity (Vmax50% & Vmax25%) before and after bronchodilator reversibility testing in patients with asthma.Forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1),Vmax50% and Vmax25% were measured before and after bronchodilator reversibility testing in 118 patients with asthma and 82 with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).The rate of positive reversibility in Vmax50% was significantly higher than that in FEV1 in 118 asthmatics (x2 =7.995,P =0.007).The rates of positive reversibility in Vmax50% and Vmax25% were significantly higher in asthmatics than those in COPD patients (x2 =9.335,P =0.009).
