[Airway-resistance in pregnancy measured by oscillation-technique (author's transl)].
Measurements of resistance were performed in 430 healthy pregnant women, 30 non-pregnant women and 33 puerperae by employing the oscillation-technique. The patients were studied in sitting and standing positions. It was found, that 2 maxima of resistance exist in pregnancy: the first in the 6th, the second in the 9th month. In the sitting position the resistance was higher than in the standing one.
