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)
5 Ιουν 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.
15 Μαΐ 2024 · This pulmonary test analyzer will help you understand your FVC, FEV1, VC, and other pulmonary test results. Select a test and enter your lab value to learn more.
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.
If FVC < LLN (or < 80%) predicted, consider hyperinflation/gas trapping. If post-BD FVC remains < LLN (or < 80%) predicted, consider combined obstructive and restrictive defect and full PFT. Note: Recommended reference equations: GLI, CHMS, and NHANES III. 2018 Ontario Lung Association.
Physicians can use the following stepwise approach to not only interpret PFTs from their office or a pulmonary function labora-tory, but also determine when to order fur-ther testing and how...
LUNG VOLUMES & CAPACITIES: Tidal Volume (VT):The volume of air entering the nose or mouth per breath (500 ml). Residual Volume (RV): The volume of air left in the lungs after a maximal forced expiration (1.5L).
