Spirometry

• GLI equation how did it come about
• hold bronchodilators before PFT studies
• acceptability, usability, repeatability of spirometry qualities
• normal misc PFT ranges
• lung volumes, capcities, normal flow volume loops definitions
• fixed ratio vs LLN for spirometry
• PFT change of 15 percent is considered significant
• PFT MIPs MEPs LLN
• supine and standing spirometry
• Negative inspiratory force NIF of 20 used to predict vent weaning success
• interpreting methacholine challenge assessment
• different lung volume testings
• difference between asthma, copd, emphysema on PFT
• pulmonary function test changes in pregnancy
• DLCO can be affected by valsalva maneuver
• PFT spirometry, DLCO, lung volume orders
• if given ABG, include A-a gradient

Abnormalities

• PFT overview flow chart
• PFT severity
• flow volume loops abnormal
• airflow obstruction happens first in distal airways
• dysanapsis in spirometry can be normal or precursor to COPD
• nonspecific pattern and PRISM in PFT
• simple vs complex restriction on PFT
• The inspiratory loop of PFT in vocal cord dysfunction can have flattened appearance
• exercise induced bronchoconstriction is decrease in FEV1 after exercise
• DLCO VA abnormality
• step up pattern in restrictive lung disease is result of respiratory muscle weakness
