Respiratory dyskinesia: a variety of clinical forms differentially diagnosed by using a spirograph.
Four cases of respiratory dyskinesia were investigated by using a spirograph before and after biperiden injection. The abnormal respiratory patterns in four cases appeared to be in two types and these abnormalities were abolished after biperiden injection. The present study showed that respiratory dyskinesia could be defined more clearly by using a spirograph and these results are useful for the diagnosis of patients with respiratory discomfort while undergoing neuroleptic drug treatment.
