Question
Answer
How can you estimate the patient's minimum effort when perfroming the MVV test?   FEV-1 x 35  
🗑
Briefly describe the 'MVV' and list it's typical value   1. Have patient breath deep/fast for 12 seconds (x5) 2. Typical value 170 l/min  
🗑
Briefly describe the 'FEF 25-75' and list it's typical value   1. The flow rate during the middle 50% of exhalation. 2. typical value = 4-5 L  
🗑
Briefly describe the 'peak expiratory flowrate' and list it's typical value   1. Maximum flow generated during expiration. 2. 300 l/min  
🗑
Briefly describe the 'FEF 200-1200' and list it's typical value   1.The flowrate during the liter after the first 200 ml have been discarded. 2. typical value 6 l/min  
🗑
After performing a PFT on a 48 year old, the MVV is 55% of predicted and the FEV-1 is 76% of predicted; your intrepretation is   the patient's effort should be questioned  
🗑
Which test would you use to measure small airway function?   FEF(25-75)  
🗑
When performing an MVV test, the position of the spirometer bell on the Collins water-seal spirometer should be;   in the mid-position  
🗑
Why is it important to have pulmonary function values that are reproducible?   The only way that values are reproducible is from maximum effort  
🗑
