The Effect of Expiratory Flow Limitation on Supine Persistent Hyperinflation in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: a prospective observational study

Introduction Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterised by airflow obstruction, expiratory airway collapse and closure causing expiratory flow limitation (EFL) and hyperinflation. Supine posture may worsen ventilatory function in COPD, which may cause hyperinflation to persist and...
