Abstract

Objective : Pregnancy is characterized by profound changes in the function of virtually every regulatory system in the human body. The events in pregnancy elicit one of the best examples of selective anatomical, physiological and biochemical adaptation that occur during pregnancy and profound changes in respiratory physiology is a part of the same process. Thus this study was designed to evaluate the pulmonary function tests in 1st, 2nd and 3rd trimesters of pregnancy and compare them with non-pregnant control group. Method : A cross-sectional study was carried in 200 healthy women in the age range of 19-35 years .The subjects were distributed in four groups, i.e control (non-pregnant) group and 1st , 2nd and 3rd trimester pregnant groups. Number of subjects in each group is 50. We recorded respiratory parameters in control and study groups. Statistical analysis done by
