Rathinam S et al. – Preoperatively, their mean forced expiratory volume was 1.97 L, and peak expiratory flow rate was 240 L min–1. Postoperatively, mean forced expiratory volume was 1.14 L and peak expiratory flow rate was 179 L min–1. These decreases were highly significant. All patients activated the breathalyzer device preoperatively, but only 2 could activate it postoperatively. Extrapolating this to patients with chest injury, most may find it impossible to activate breathalyzers.
