Data are presented as mean±sd. n = 24. FEV1: forced expiratory volume in 1 s; % pred: % predicted; FVC: forced vital capacity; IC: inspiratory capacity; TLC: total lung capacity; RV: residual volume; PaO2: arterial oxygen tension; PaCO2: arterial carbon dioxide tension; SaO2: arterial oxygen saturation.
