Small droplet emission in exhaled breath during different breathing manoeuvres: Implications for clinical lung function testing during COVID‐19

Small droplet emission in exhaled breath during different breathing manoeuvres: Implications for clinical lung function testing during COVID‐19

In summary, we show that small droplet emission varies for different breath manoeuvre performed during PFTs, with very low production in TV and sVC from FRC and low production during FEV. Consideration of performing PFTs in different clinical settings could account for these differences, with future focus of clinical risk also on room ventilation.
