Eucapnic voluntary hyperventilation test in children.

abstract：PURPOSE:We aimed to evaluate the functionality of an adapted inspiratory muscle training device designed to allow pressures higher than 41 cmH(2)O that can be precisely controlled. The adaptation was made in a commercially available Threshold IMT device, and the opening pressures and linearity of load were evaluated in...
