Predictors of expiratory flow limitation measured by forced oscillation technique in COPD

BACKGROUND: Expiratory flow limitation (EFL) during tidal breathing is common in patients with severe COPD, and a major determinant of dynamic hyperinflation and exercise limitation. EFL can be measured by the forced oscillation technique (FOT); however, the relevance to clinical parameters is not f...
