WillWallace PFT's

        Help!  

Question
Answer
TLC Normal   show
🗑
VT Normal   show
🗑
show vital capacity 4800  
🗑
show residual volume 1200  
🗑
Volumes that cannot be directly measured in a PFT   show
🗑
Tests used for RV, FRC, and TLC   show
🗑
PFT Equipment for measuring volume   show
🗑
Infection Control in PFT's   show
🗑
Why PFT's   show
🗑
Patient instructions for FVC   show
🗑
show since ATPS can be 5 to 15% different that BTPS, adjustments must be made or test will be invalid.  
🗑
FEV1   show
🗑
show forced exp volume in 2 seconds, normal is 4.6L  
🗑
show forced exp volume in 3 seconds 4.8L  
🗑
PEFR   show
🗑
show forced exp press between 200 and 1200, normal 8.5ml/second, measures large airway flow  
🗑
show forced exp flow between 25 and 75, normal is 4.5L/second, measures small airways  
🗑
show Residual Volume, normal 1200, like the FRC & TLC it cannot be directly measured. alternative tests are, 1.Body box 2. Helium dilution 3. Nitrogen washout  
🗑
show best method to measure RV, uses Boyles Law to calc RV, larger values because more accurate information  
🗑
show hemoptysis, pneumothorax, cardio problems, thoracic, abdominal or cerebral aneurysm, recent eye surgery, acute disease that may cause nausea or vomiting, recent ab or chest surgery  
🗑
FVC Validity/Reliability   show
🗑
show Max voluntary ventilation, normal is 160L/min, tested with Spirogram, fast and hard for at least 12 seconds, 2x-use best results, tests for strength of muscles, flow and capacity, tested pre-op/ make sure patient can get of vent post op  
🗑
show normal 80 - 120, moderate 50-64, very severe <35  
🗑
show check FEV1 & FEV1%  
🗑
Restrictive Severity   show
🗑
show Diffusion of Lung Carbon Monoxide, normal is 40ml/min/mmHg, 0.3%CO & 10% He in air held in a single breath for 10 seconds.  
🗑
show ↓ volumes & capacities, affects lung parenchyma and thoracic pump, ↓ inspiration, ↓CL, more vertical slope on PFT tracing than obstructive, restriction+diffusion=fibrosis  
🗑
show ↓ Flows, ↑ CL, flatter curve on PFT tracing, affects airways, obstruction+diffusion=emphysema  
🗑
show Forced Vital Capacity, normal is 480 ml  
🗑
show FEV1/FVC, normal is 75 to 85 % (<70%=obstruction)  
🗑
show VC is normally 80% of TLC  
🗑
show height, age, gender, ethnicity, sometimes for extreme weight and altitude (may be reduced 12 to 15 % for non-white)  
🗑
FVC Tracings   show
🗑
show ↓ DLCO is associated with emphysema , Fibrosis, restrictive diseases, carbohemoglobin polycythemia, CHF, anemia, pulm embolism, exercise  
🗑
show FEF200-1200, normal is 8.5 L/sec, <80%=large airway disease. FEF25-75, normal is 4.5 L/sec,<80%=small airway disease. (FRC or RV >120%=airtrapping)  
🗑
show Patient efforts insures validity and reliability of tests. Tests that are not valid or reliable, can lead to misdiagnoses, mistreatments and poor outcomes  
🗑
show before and after treatment studies, FEV1 >15% indicates effective treatments  
🗑
PFT categories (test types)   show
🗑
show open circuit (non-re breather), exhaled gas measured for N2, Patient breaths until little N2 remains, 2-5 mins normal, COPD longer (perforated ear drum will scew test)  
🗑
Helium Dilution test   show
🗑
Fibrosis   show
🗑
bronchoprovocation testing   show
🗑
