  • Title: [Chronic respiratory diseases and their decompensation during pregnancy (asthma excluded)].
    Author: Muir JF, Defouilloy C, Broussier PM.
    Journal: Rev Mal Respir; 1988; 5(3):269-74. PubMed ID: 3041500.
    Abstract:
    There are relatively few observations on the influence of pregnancy in chronic respiratory illness, excluding asthma and interstitial pneumonia. Chronic airflow obstruction only presents at a relatively advanced age, past the menopause. Chronic respiratory failure due to restrictive lung disorders appears well tolerated as long as the vital capacity is greater than one litre. Mucoviscidosis has been the object of more detailed studies since the management of this disorder now raises hopes of survival compatible with pregnancy.
