A Computerized Method for Acquisition and Analysis of Flow-Volume Loops

摘要

A computerized method for collection and analysis of flow-volume loops is described. It uses digital data acquisition and allows simple, accurate analysis of flow-volume loop data. Statistical analysis of control data from an experimental study reveals that the method has a power of 87% or greater for detecting a 10% change in mean flows. The advantages over alternative procedures are discussed. (Author)
