ABSTRACT:

Background: Pulmonary function tests play an important role in the assessment, diagnosis, quantification of the ventilatory disorders intensity, and treatment course. Changes in posture can affect the resting length of respiratory muscles and the vestibular system contributes to altering respiratory muscle activity during movement and changes in posture. Aim of this study is to find different angle changes how effect on the pulmonary function.

Materials and Method: A cross sectional study was conducted on 30 young healthy females. Their Pulmonary function test was done with portable PFT machine in three various angles (450 head down, 0˚supine position, 45˚ Oblique) by using tilt table.

Results: The result shows significant difference of FVC and FEV1 values in supine, oblique and head down positions [P value=0.000]. The values of FVC and FEV1 are highest in oblique position.

Conclusion: There was significant difference in effect of different angle on pulmonary function and it was highest in oblique (450) position.

KEY WORDS: Pulmonary function, tilt table, different angle, ventilation.
