The influence of thoracic gas compression and airflow density dependence on the assessment of pulmonary function at high altitude

The purpose of this report was to illustrate how thoracic gas compression (TGC) artifact, and differences in air density, may together conflate the interpretation of changes in the forced expiratory flows (FEFs) at high altitude (>2400 m). Twenty‐four adults (10 women; 44 ± 15 year) with normal b...
