Forced Expiratory Volume in 6 s (FEV(6)) and FEV(1)/FEV(6) Values as a Viable Alternative for Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) and FEV(1)/FVC Values During Pregnancy in South East Nigeria: A Preliminary Study
BACKGROUND: Forced expiratory volume in 6 s (FEV(6)) and FEV(1)/FEV(6) ratio have traditionally been used as a surrogate for forced vital capacity (FVC) and FEV(1)/FVC in the assessment of spirometric lung function in nonpregnant subjects. However, the existence of this relationship during pregnancy...
