Question
Answer
What are the 3 divisions of the respiratory system   airways parenchyma chest  
🗑
What is diffusion in the lungs   air exchange across alveolar capillary membranes  
🗑
What are PFTs used for   evaluate how lungs work -how much air lung can hold -how quickly air moves in and out -how well lungs add o2 and remove co2  
🗑
Why do we do PFTs   diagnose dyspnea/cough or shortness of breath to see if it is obstructive or restrictive problem  
🗑
When would you order a PFT   evaluate s/sx of lung disease assess progression of lung disease monitor tx evaluate preoperative patient screen people at risk for pulm disease  
🗑
What does spirometry measure   measures air movement can determine how much and how fast air can be inhaled and exhaled  
🗑
What does diffusing capacity measure   ability of lung to transfer/exchange gases  
🗑
what is residual lung volume   amount of air left in lung after maximal expiration  
🗑
What is SVC   slow vital capacity- volume of air which can be inhaled or exhaled in a slow steady maneuver  
🗑
what is FVC   forced vital capacity- amount of air that can be exhaled with force after deep inhalation  
🗑
what is VC   vital capacity- the maximum volume of air exhaled during FVC or SVC  
🗑
What is TLC   Total lung capacity- VC + residual volume is the total volume of air at full inhalation  
🗑
What is ERV   expiratory reserve volume- maximum volume of additional air that can be exhaled after a normal exhalation  
🗑
What is IC   inspiratory capacity- max volume of air that can be inspired from tidal volume and expiratory level  
🗑
What is TV   Tidal Volume- air inhaled and exhaled at rest  
🗑
What is FET   forced expiratory time- the time it takes patient to complete FVC maneuver (exhale all air after maximal inspiration)  
🗑
What is FEV1   forced expiratory volume in 1 second- volume of air forced out in 1 second  
🗑
What is FEV1/FVC   ratio of FEV1 to FVC  
🗑
on a peak flow volume loop what if PEFR and PIFR   Peak expiratory flow rate, and Peak inspiratory flow rate  
🗑
What are FEF25, 50 and 75 on flow volume loop   flow rate at which 25, 50 and 75% of volume has been exhaled  
🗑
What is DLCO   diffusing capacity of lung- measure ability of lungs to transfer carbon mononxide gives a measurment of how well the lungs are working with gas exchange  
🗑
What are the following values for FVC test normal mild reduction moderate reduction sever reduction   normal FVC= 80-120% mild= 70-79 moderate- 50-69 severe- below 50  
🗑
What would be a normal FEV1   75-80%  
🗑
What would be a normal fev1/FVC ratio   70%  
🗑
What would be a normal fef25-75   greater than 50% would be normal  
🗑
What are the standards for pulm function tests based on   age, height, and sex  
🗑
Can you measure TLC with spirometry   NO because you can't measure RV  
🗑
What would be a normal TLC   80%  
🗑
How can you measure RV   nitrogen washout, helium dilution, body plethysmography  
🗑
IF you think patient may suffer from asthma but they don't have s/sx currently what can you administer to get a spirometry that would show if they have it or not   methacholine, bronchial provocation test  
🗑
compared to normal flow volume loop what would an obstructive disease look like   width would be same but expiratory curve slope would be decreased and flattened  
🗑
Compared to normal flow volume loop what would a restrictive disease look like   narrower loop less volume exchanged but slopes would be steeper  
🗑
what is a characteristic of a restrictive airway disease   decreases lung volume, decreased TLC and FVC but normal or increased FEV1/FVC ratio  
🗑
What is characteristic of an obstructive airway disease   outlow limitation TLC and Lung Volume normal but low FEV1 FEV1/FVC and FEF25-75  
🗑
What type of airway disease is asthma   obstructive  
🗑
what type of airway disease is COPD   obstructive  
🗑
How do you generally differentiate between COPD and Asthma   get a DLCO COPD will have a diminished DLCO asthma will be normal  
🗑
What type of airway disease is interstitial lung disease   restrictive  
🗑
What type of airway disease is chest bellows diseases   restrictive  
🗑
how do you distinguish between interstitial airway disease and bellows disesases   DLCO test- Interstial will have impaired gas exchange, Bellows lungs gas exchange is normal but can't get air in  
🗑
