Review age, gender, smoking status, BMI, indication, flow-volume curves. Quality control. Three acceptable maneuvers with repeatable values: Two highest values of FVC and FEV1 should be within 150mL (100mL if FVC ≤ 1L) Good start (back extrapolation < 5% of FVC or 150 mL)
Describe the clinical indications for pulmonary function testing. Understand the physiology of the core pulmonary function tests: spirometry, lung volumes and DLCO. Apply an organized approach to interpreting pulmonary function tests. Identify obstructive, restrictive, mixed obstructive-restrictive and pulmonary vascular patterns of ...
9 paź 2024 · In this guide, we’ve compiled sample TMC practice questions focused on pulmonary function testing. These questions are designed to help you prepare for the NBRC licensure exam by simulating real-world scenarios, making your study sessions more targeted and effective.
Pulmonary function tests can provide important clinical information, yet they are vastly underused. They are designed to identify and quantify defects and abnormalities in the function of the respiratory system and answer questions such as the following: How badly impaired is the patient’s lung function? Is air-way obstruction present?
Abnormal Pulmonary Function Patterns: 1. Obstructive 2. Restrictive 3. Neuromuscular weakness 4. Pulmonary Vascular 5. Poor Effort
5 cze 2012 · In this article we will provide an overview of basic pulmonary function tests and an algo-rithm for using and interpreting them, and then we use three cases to explain how to use these tests to identify the pattern of respirato-ry dysfunction, then make the diagnosis.
28 cze 2018 · This document discusses various pulmonary function tests used to evaluate lung function. It describes tests such as spirometry, which measures volumes of air inhaled and exhaled over time producing a spirogram. Static lung volumes like total lung capacity and functional residual capacity are also discussed.
