Abstract
Measurements of ventilatory capacity, in terms of the F.E.V. 1.0 reveal persistent abnormalities in children with asthma and bronchiectasis. They appear to provide an objective means of assessing an important aspect of these conditions which cannot be accurately assessed on clinical examination. Measurements of this kind seem readily applicable to assessing the natural course of these diseases and the effects of treatment.Keywords
