Overnight variation in tidal expiratory flow limitation in COPD patients and its correction: an observational study

Overnight variation in tidal expiratory flow limitation in COPD patients and its correction: an observational study

Abstract Background Tidal expiratory flow limitation (EFLT) is common among COPD patients. Whether EFLT changes during sleep and can be abolished during home ventilation is not known. Methods COPD patients considered for noninvasive ventilation used a ventilator which measured within-breath reactanc...
