Pulmonary functions in pre-eclamptic women

Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate certain pulmonary function tests of the pre-eclamptic women in the early postpartum period. Study design: Forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV 1) and peak expiratory flow (PEF) were measured in 13 pre-eclamptic and 15...

Description
Summary:Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate certain pulmonary function tests of the pre-eclamptic women in the early postpartum period. Study design: Forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV 1) and peak expiratory flow (PEF) were measured in 13 pre-eclamptic and 15 control subjects undergoing cesarean section (C/S); and 11 pre-eclamptic and 15 control subjects undergoing vaginal delivery (VD) on the postpartum third day. Results: Pre-eclamptic women had significantly lower FVC, FEV 1 and PEF measurements than the control women ( P
