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
