Diagnostic value and pathophysiologic basis of pulsus paradoxus in infants and children with respiratory disease.

abstract：BACKGROUND:In preschool children, measurement of airway resistance using interrupter technique (Rint) is feasible to assess the degree of bronchial obstruction. Although some studies measured Rint in infancy, values of Rint and its variability in preterm infants are unknown. In this study, Rint and its variability was ...
