title: Use of a new simple device, the airflometer, in detecting changes in airways obstuction.
abstract: A simple device for measuring ventilatory function, the airflowmeter, was found to be at least as sensitive as the Wright peak-flow meter in detecting histamine-induced bronchoconstriction in asthmatic patients. The apparatus also was found suitable for monitoring ventilatory function by the patients themselves at home.
