Asthma PFTs
FVC nl/decreased
FEV1 decreased
FEV1/FVC decreased
DLCO nl/increased
Reversible with bronchodilator
COPD/Obstructive PFTs
RV increased FRC increased TLC increased FVC nl/decreased FEV1 decreased FEV1/FVC decreased DLCO nl/decreased
FEV1 decreases more than FVC
Not reversible with bronchodilator
Restrictive PTFs
RV decreased FRC decreased TLC decreased FVC decreased FEV1 decreased FEV1/FVC nl/increased DLCO nl/decreased
FEV1 decreases proportional to FVC
