In stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients spontaneously breathing at rest, tidal expiratory flow limitation is the major determinant of the occurrence of expiratory looping in the plethysmographic flow-alveolar pressure diagram. In these patients the magnitude and the characteristics of the loop can be used as predictors of the presence of tidal expiratory flow limitation.
