Example sentences for: tef
How can you use “tef” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
The behavior of V PTEF / V E mainly parallels that of t PTEF / t E . The same mechanisms responsible for determining t PTEF / t E may be operative in determining V PTEF / V E . The role of several measured tidal flows (TEF50, TEF25, TEF10) and ratios (25/PT) in the evaluation of pulmonary function is mostly unknown.
25/PT = the ratio of tidal expiratory flow at 25% of the remaining tidal volume to peak tidal expiratory flow; PTEF = peak tidal expiratory flow; RSV = respiratory syncytial virus; TBFV = tidal breathing flow volume; TEF10 = tidal expiratory flow at 10% of the remaining tidal volume; TEF25 = tidal expiratory flow at 25% of the remaining tidal volume; TEF50 = tidal expiratory flow at 50% of the remaining tidal volume; t PTEF / t E = the fraction of exhaled time to achieve peak tidal expiratory flow to total expiratory time; V PTEF / V E = the fraction of exhaled volume to achieve peak tidal expiratory flow to total expiratory tidal volume.
This present study in infants with mild bronchiolitis due to RSV demonstrates that nebulized albuterol does not improve V PTEF / V E and t PTEF / t E , but can decrease TEF10 and 25/PT.
Increased effort during exhalation can theoretically lead to an increase in PTEF and, by dynamic compression of smaller airways, to a decrease in TEF25; this leads to a decrease in 25/PT.
In the present study, PTEF significantly increased and TEF25 decreased (although not statistically significant) after albuterol administration.
