Respiratory Physio Flow Rates
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Forced expiratory volume at one second | FEV1 |
| Forced vital capacity | TLC - RV |
| FEV1/FVC normally is close to | 0.8 |
| Restrictive diseases reduced: | both FEV1 and FVC |
| Obstructive diseases show a reduced: | FEV1 |
| If FEV1/FVC is close to 0.6 this indicates | obstructive lung disease |
| Measuring the middle half of an FVS manuever can show | flow measurement (Forced expiratory flow rate) |
| In obstructive disease like asthma, FEF(25 to 75) is: | decreased |
| In severe obstruction both: ____ and ____ are reduced. | FEV1 and FEF(25 to 75) |
