Resp. lab whiteboard Flashcards
What PFT is effort dependent
FEV1
FEV1 normal
> 80% predicted
Volume of air that can be exhaled after max inhalation
FVC
Normal FeV1:FVC ratio
75-80%
FEV1/FVC restrictive disease
normal
FEV1/FVC in obstructive disease
what does it do and by how much
reduced <70%
Which PFT is useful in diagnosing obstructive vs restrictive disease
FEV1: FVC ratio
What PFT is most sensitive to small airway disease?
FEF 25-75%
mid max exp flow
FEF 25-75% in restrictive disease
normal
normal FEF 25-75%
100 + or - 25%
Maximum voluntary vent (MMV)
what is it, what are normal values
amount of air out on treadmill
Male: 140 - 180 L
Female: 80-120 L
DLCO is:
Volume of carbon monoxide that infuses through alveolar membrane
DLCO is based on
fick’s law of diffusion
Normal DLCO
17-25 mL/mn/mmHg
Brochodilator MOA
Beta 2 stimulation->increased cAMP–>decreased Ca2+
