The relation between spirometric measurements and arterial blood gas analysis in patients with chronic airflow obstruction

Shibel, Elaine M.

RESUMO

Spirometric studies and arterial blood gas analyses were statistically evaluated in 75 patients with chronic airways obstruction to determine whether any spirometric parameters can predict arterial blood gas status. Radioactive lung scans, both ventilation (using 133Xe gas) and perfusion (using 131I-MAA), were performed in selected patients.
