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?
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.
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)
Abnormal Pulmonary Function Patterns: 1. Obstructive 2. Restrictive 3. Neuromuscular weakness 4. Pulmonary Vascular 5. Poor Effort
