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)
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.
This quiz contains a range of questions relating to lung function tests, from simple to very complex. Read our spirometry section in order to learn more about interpreting spirometry and other pulmonary function tests.
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.
Pulmonary Function Tests. Spirometry and Maximal Expiratory and Inspiratory Flow Volume Curves. “Dynamic function” Pulmonary Function: Tests. “Dynamic function”: obstructive defects ♦ “Static function”: restrictive defects ♦ Diffusion abnormalities (gas exchange) Obstructive Ventilation: Expiratory.
28 cze 2018 · Pulmonary function tests (PFTs) measure how well the lungs work by assessing lung volumes, air flow, and gas exchange. PFTs can help diagnose various respiratory diseases by detecting abnormalities. The tests involve spirometry to measure volumes of air inhaled and exhaled during normal and forced breathing maneuvers.
