Abstract:
The airway functions in pregnancy have been widely studied but reports obtained from Western and Indian population show divergence. While the Indian populations show significant changes in total and timed vital capacity (FVC and FEV1), the Western counterparts dismiss such changes as insignificant. Our results show insignificant alteration in airway function and support the results reported for Western population.
