Changes of a) spirometric, plethysmographic, and b) impedance data at 5 Hz induced by bronchodilator in flow limited (□) and nonflow limited (▓) patients at baseline. % pred: % predicted; FEV1: forced expiratory volume in 1 s; FVC: forced vital capacity; IC: inspiratory capacity; SVC: slow vital capacity; RV: residual volume; TGV: thoracic gas volume; TLC: total lung capacity; R̄insp: mean inspiration resistance; R̄exp: mean expiration resistance; R̄tot: mean whole breath resistance; X̄insp: mean reactance during inspiration; X̄exp; mean reactance during expiration: X̄tot: mean total reactance; ΔX̄rs: mean difference in reactance; R̄5-R̄19: mean difference in resistances at 5 and 19 Hz. #: p = 0.04; ¶: p = 0.05; +: p = 0.001; §: p =  Reproduced from [51] with permission from the publisher.
