Divers with large or normal lungs: is the difference justified?
Although FEV1/FVC ratio was significantly lower in the LL than in the NL group, there were no between-group differences in the rates of bullae and DCI. These findings suggest that subjects with LLs are not at a higher risk of bullae and DCI than are subjects with NLs.
