Peakflowmonitoring in selfmanagement and education interventions are particularly useful for controlling asthma by demonstrating the variable airflow limitations that characterize the disorder.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Systolic time-intervals for left and right ventricles,peakflowvelocity of tricuspid and pulmonary regurgitation, and systolic peak flow velocity in the pulmonary arteries.
From theCambridge English Corpus
For example, the patient with asthma could be advised to increase their bronchodilator inhaler, but to monitor their peak flows and to return if theirpeakflowcontinues to fall.
From theCambridge English Corpus
There was no correlation between the venous pulsatility ratio, nor the ratio ofpeakflowvelocities during expiration and the mean systemic venous/right atrial pressure.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Self-treatment by medication at home based onpeakflowmonitoring, was explicitly mentioned in fourteen studies (2;4;7;11;13;19;20;22;23;25;27;28;30;31).
From theCambridge English Corpus
Given the results of the studies, the use of selfmanagement programs based onpeakflowmonitoring in asthmatics seems to be cost-effective or even cost saving.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Second, uniform guidelines for economic evaluations of asthmatics are needed to compare cost-effectiveness evaluations of self-management based onpeakflowmonitoring interventions.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Investments that increase thepeakflowthat the river can accommodate without flooding, increasing the river's channel capacity, may create another strategic interaction.
From theCambridge English Corpus
However, a structured review of costs and the cost-effectiveness of asthma self-management purely based onpeakflowmonitoring interventions is lacking.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Only then will it be possible to conclude whether interventions for asthmatics, such as self-management based onpeakflowmonitoring interventions, are cost-effective.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Increasingly, electronicpeakflowmonitors with transfer possibilities are replacing standardpeakflow monitors, as information communication technology is improving.
From theCambridge English Corpus
These studies presented economic information regarding self-management interventions based onpeakflowmonitoring in asthmatics.
From theCambridge English Corpus
To be included,peakflowmonitoring had to be the main intervention and separate cost data had to be presented.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The aim of this review was to analyze costs and the cost-effectiveness of self-management based onpeakflowmonitoring interventions in asthma.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Ductal shunting was expressed as right-to-left, left-to-right, or bidirectional, andpeakflowvelocity of shunting was obtained.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Acceleration time is measured from onset topeakflow.
From theCambridge English Corpus
There is a normal decrease inpeakflowvelocity during inspiration in fetuses with normal lung development.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The main reason for exclusion was thatpeakflowmonitoring was not the primary intervention (34 percent).
From theCambridge English Corpus
In all studies, the self-management intervention based onpeakflowmonitoring also included some form of health education.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Self-management includingpeakflowmonitoring seems to increase patient awareness of their disease status and control (12).
From theCambridge English Corpus
Pulmonary pressures and resistance were nearly normal at this time, as demonstrated echocardiographically by measuringpeakflowvelocity (4 m/sec) over of a small residual ventricular septal defect.
