Feasibility and potential cost/benefit of routine isoflurane sedation using an anesthetic-conserving device: a prospective observational study.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Peak expiratory flow (PEF) is a spirometric test that detects obstructive changes in the respiratory tract; has good correlation with the FEV1; and is much less expensive, simpler, and easier to perform under field conditions than FEV1. Chronic silicosis is also known to have obstructive features in advanced...
