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.
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.
16 Ιουλ 2023 · This article looks at lung volumes and capacities, their measurements and effects of common pathology. This division allows for assessment of the mechanical condition of the lungs, its musculature, airway resistance and the effectiveness of gas exchange at the alveolar membrane.
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.
For a complete interpretation of spirometry, it is essential to evaluate static lung volumes such as total lung capacity (TLC), residual volume (RV), and functional residual capacity (FRC). Each of these volumes provides valuable insights into the health and efficiency of the respiratory system.
Understanding normal values in spirometry: what to expect during a lung function test. Spirometry is by far the most useful test to detect and monitor abnormalities in the lung function.
