Table 5. Changes in pulmonary function test before PBMV and 15 days after PBMV.
| Parameter | Before PBMV | Post PBMV 15 days | P value |
| FEV1 (%predicted) | 62.18 ± 11.05 | 75.32 ± 11.67 | <0.001* |
| FVC (%predicted) | 54.80± 11.31 | 69.57 ± 12.66 | <0.001* |
| FEV1/FVC (%) | 108.52±17.21 | 110.45±13.25 | 0.351 |
| PEFR (L/min) | 229.87±68.59 | 342.08±59.39 | <0.001* |
Abbreviations: FEV1, Forced expiratory volume at 1 second; FVC, Forced vital capacity; PEFR, Peak expiratory flow rate.
Paired Student’s t test. *indicates significant p-value (P≤0.05).
