22
Q

Obstructive ventilatory impairments are observed with the following changes to…

  1. expiratory flows
  2. FEV1/FVC
  3. max air flow compared to max volume displaced from lungs
A
  1. decreased expiratory flow
  2. FEV1/FVC < 70%
  3. disproportionate reduction of max air flow compared to max volume displaced from lungs
23
Q

A
  1. Asthma
  2. Emphysema
  3. chronic bronchitis
24
Q

Restrictive ventilatory impairment is characterized by what….

  2. FVC and FEV1/FVC
A
  1. reduced lung volumes (TLC, RVC, and FEV1) and normal expiratory flow rates
  2. FVC is reduced and FEV1/FVC is normal or >80%
