[The evaluation of useful breath actuated inhalers by preschool asthmatic children].

Clinical efficacy of breath actuated devices depend on value of Peak Inspiratory Flow (PIF), in consequence they are used in older children. Therefore the aim of our study was to assess the ability to use breath actuated inhalers in preschool stable asthmatic children. 156 children aged (mean and 95% CI) 4.

[Predictive values of peak expiratory flow measured with mechanical meters for Polish children and adolescents between 7-19 years of age].

The aim of this study was to evaluate the predicted values of pack expiratory flow for the Polish children and youth by means of measures Mini Wright and Personal Best. The accounts were based on a group of 86 boys and 110 girls. It was established that it was necessary to state different predicted values for different measures and that an optimum model of regression for counting of predicted values of PEFR in relation to body height for the Polish children and youth was an exponential model.
