Placing crackles on the flow-volume plane: a study of the relationship between the time position, the flow and the volume

Authors: Rossi, M. | Vannuccini, L.

Article Type: Research Article

Abstract: The aim of this study was to analyse inspiratory crackles in patients with Pulmonary Fibrosis (PF) and Bronchiectasis (BE). One case of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) has also been included. The relationships between the time of occurrence of crackles (T ) in the breath cycle and the corresponding flow at the mouth (F ) and volume (V ) have been investigated. The linear correlations between the flow, volume and time have been investigated by Pearson’s R -test and the same variables have been analysed by Principal Component Analysis (PCA) in order to verify the effective dimension of these data. … Show more
