Spirometries

• hold bronchodilators before PFT studies
• validation of spirometry qualities
• normal misc PFT ranges
• flow volume loops normal definition
• 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

Abnormalities

• 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

Literature Notes

• Breathing, Obstruction, Restriction, and Gas Exchange. A Pulmonary Function Testing Interpretation Framework for Novice Learners
• Get Valid Spirometry Results Every Time
