Normal Variability of Tidal Breathing Flow-volume Curves During Sleep in Healthy Children

Completed
Conditions
Respiration Disorders
Registration Number
NCT03785847
Lead Sponsor
Tampere University Hospital
Brief Summary

The study includes a comprehensive health examination with focus on respiratory health and the TBFV recordings using impedance pneumography (Ventica®) during sleep at night in healthy children.

Detailed Description

Impedance pneumograpy results in healthy children to generate normal values and to stude the effect of age and gender
