Q

Most sensitive PFT for small airway dx?

A

FEF 25-75

= reflect flow through small airway (<2mm diameter)
= may defect before FEV1 change
= give more flattening on top part of flow loop

Q

How do you interpret PFT:

A
  1. FEV1/FVC
    Normal/High
    > if FVC < 80%= restrictive

IF <85% predicted
> But FVC high= obstructive
> If FVC < 80%= mixed pattern

What is true regarding asthma meds:

b. IV ventolin work better than inhaled
c. steroid increase responsiveness of ventolin
d. cromolyn useful in acute tx

A

Steroids increase responsiveness to beta 2 agonist.

Ventolin: target large + small airways

  • no proven EBM of systemic over inhaled
  • note inhaled not appropriate if only small gas volume shifted

Steroid: anti-inflammatory, beter responsiveness to ventolin, improve lung function and lower relapse

Cromolyn NOT acute phase.
