Abstract
The forced expiratory times have been measured in 44 volunteers by means of spirometers equipped with a flow sensor of the Lilly type and a turbine flow sensor, and the acoustic durations of tracheal noises have been compared. The spirometric forced expiratory time has been found to depend on the flow sensor type; thus, its use for diagnosis is problematic.
