SPV Training Questions

Question 1

What type of data is Compressed Data?

Answer 1

Flow data is Compressed Data.

Question 1

What are the FCV and FEV1 values from the following curves?

Answer 1

FVC = 6

FEV1 = 2

Question 1

Indicate which of the following refers to either Restrictive OR Obstructive lung disease (or both).

People that cannot fill their lungs with air?

Answer 1

Restrictive

Question 1

Indicate which of the following refers to either Restrictive OR Obstructive lung disease (or both)

Have shortness of breath due to difficulty exhaling all the air from the lungs?

Answer 1

Obstructive

Question 2

How are the curves reconstructed in Spirotrac for compressed data?

Answer 2

The compressed data is retrieved from the database and converted to mls which plots the flow/volume curve which in turn generates (integrates the flow) the volume/time curve.

Question 3

What is VC?

Answer 3

The Volume Change of the lung between a full inspiration and a maximal expiration

Question 4

What is Post Bronchodilator Response?

Answer 4

Movement of FEV1 after bronchodilator administration?

Question 5

Indicate which of the following refer to either Restrictive OR Obstructive lung disease (or both)?

Low or normal FVC, low FVC1 and low FEV1/FVC%?

Answer 5

Obstruction

Question 6

How would you reconstruct a curve on Excel?

Answer 6

1. Perform a blow in Spirotrac,
2. export the data,
3. Copy the data from the CVS file into the appropriate calculators located on the network.

Question 8

Indicate which of the following refers to either Restrictive OR Obstructive lung disease (or both)?

Usually results in low FVC and FEV1 valued but a normal FEV1/FVC%?

Answer 8

Restriction

Question 10

Indicate which of the following refer to either Restrictive OR Obstructive lung disease (or both)?

Low FVC, low FEV1 & low FEV1/FVC%?

Answer 10

Combination

Question 12

Indicate which of the following refer to either Restrictive OR Obstructive lung disease (or both)

At the end of a full exhalation, an abnormally high amount of air may still linger in the lungs?

Answer 12

At the end of a full exhalation, an abnormally high amount of air may still linger in the lungs;

­­­­­­­­­­ Obstructive

Question 13

What is Uncompressed Data?

Answer 13

Volume Data would be Uncompressed Data

Question 14

What are the FCV and FEV1 values from the following curves?

Answer 14

1. FVC = 6 (start to end of test)
2. Flow @ FEV1 = approx. 2.5 to 3.2

Question 15

Indicate which of the following refers to either Restrictive OR Obstructive lung disease (or both)

Caused by damage causing stiffness in the lungs themselves or stiffness of the chest wall, weak muscles, or damaged nerves which prevents lung expansion?

Answer 15

Restrictive

Question 17

What is Raw data?

Answer 17

1. Raw data is what is used to construct the curves
2. It can be compressed or uncompressed

What are the FCV and FEV1 values from the following curves?

Answer 18

FVC = 6L

FEV1 = 4L
