背景资料：在学龄前儿童中应用肺功能测定存在困难。方法：采用动态肺功能测定法，根据欧洲呼吸学会（European Respiratory Society）批准的动画程序和指南，对652名3-6岁儿童进行肺功能测定的可行性进行了研究。408例（68%）患者至少完成了三次可接受的操作。只有两个可接受的动作的儿童更年轻，更矮，体重更轻（p
Background: There have been difficulties in applying spirometric tests to children of preschool age.Methods: The feasibility of measuring lung function was examined in 652 children aged 3-6 years using dynamic spirometry with an animation programme and the guidelines approved by the European Respiratory Society.Results: Data from 603 (92%) children with at least two acceptable forced expiratory manoeuvres were analysed; 408 (68%) achieved at least three acceptable manoeuvres. Children with only two acceptable manoeuvres were younger, shorter, and weighed less (p
