Pulmonary Function Tests (PFT): Lesson 1 - An Introduction

[@StrongMed]

Errata: @9:23, I meant to write and say "functional RESIDUAL capacity", not "functional RESERVE capacity". (That error makes me feel particularly dumb!)

[@mcsmama]

[@ENARMtips]

Wow! I am an internal medicine residente and I must tell you sir! You have brilliant explanations! Keep going!

[@NaseerAhmad-wg4js]

Great teaching Eric , I have learned and enjoyed your teachings , great depth and knowledge and clinical correlation.God bless you

[@MrVote4tibet]

thank you-very helpful-its been 10 years since i learned pft- now i am assigned to work in pft and this lecture really helped me get back on my memories-

[@lizbethmcewan]

Dr. Strong Thank you very much!! you have helped me a lot more than my own teachers!

[@benedektoth7368]

I simply can not thank you enough for your videos! GREAT WORK!! All of them! I`m very glad I found them! Thank you!!!

[@MohamadrezaRabieiDr]

As a medical student I have to say THANK YOU :)

[@suzannemarshall2635]

Thank you for your videos; I've only seen the first two so far however as a newly certified Spirometry Nurse Educator I found these very reinforcing to what I initially learned. You do a nice job all around.

[@doktornadia1999]

I'm doctor from Russia . Thank you very much for the lecture!🌷👍

[@didisaythankyou]

Your videos are all fantastic Dr. Strong, thank you!

[@montrealoscar]

I found this series of videos very useful as preparing for my exam. Thanks a lot

[@physiotherapistpaulina9340]

well taught and explained. i work in pulmonary rehab. as a physiotherapist in Canada.

[@TheResetmc]

i like the way you're teaching, all your video not only about this topic, but i was looking for the part 5 for a clinical esemple. thank...

[@StrongMed]

Thanks for the feedback. I'm very sorry, but I never got around to finishing lesson 5, but hope to do so in the next 1-2 weeks.

[@michaelh1830]

PFTs are really important. Glad you went over them. Thanks!

[@fadihaffar492]

Hello Dr. Eric I am working in a Thorax surgery department . one of the routine tests that we carry out for patients with lung tumor is spiro-ergometry and scintigraphy to determine the operability of the patients . I guess a lesson on pulmonary embolus would be highly instructive for all residents and you can then explain the Ventilation - Perfusion scan . Plus it would be highly informative to talk a little bit about exercise or stress tests . Thank you for your highly needed efforts .

[@drruchirakhasne9936]

this is great work!!!!!!!!!!!.all videos r excellent. very helpful for all exam goings

[@khanfamily7613]

@4:40... Isn't Interstitium separate from parenchyma (which includes the functional structure of an organ, which in case of Respiratory system, the alveous...)...? Thanks...great video.. Keep posting...

[@RomajaneAbrenio]

Thank you! This was very helpful.

[@truyentai6190]

Very interesting lesson. Thank you so much :)

[@leahvelasco386]

Thank you for the videos!

[@tuserats6602]

Realy helpfull for me.☺

[@yadiracabrera7625]

You are a genius

[@SarkisKlinik]

Hello , Regarding VC parameters My spirometry machine does not calculate the TLC and RV and does not tell the preducted value for age height ,sex for them.instead , It measures VC , IRV ,ERV, TV , IVC, EVC with predicted values. So, how to measure manually TLC and RR and get predicted values? is it possible? If not , are the measured values equal to TLC and RV in evaluating wheter the disease is obstructive or restrictive?

[@StrongMed]

Spirometry doesn't include TLC and RV - the machines are literally unable to measure/calculate these values. The measurement of lung volumes is the topic of the 3 lesson in this PFT series.

[@SarkisKlinik]

@@StrongMed thank you. I watched it,but is, difficultvto have helium machine in primary care. Isnt there other alternative?

[@sunving]

Thank you Dr Strong

[@laurentiu244]

Very good integration by bringing the pulmonary vasc. dis. along with the classical obstructive and restrictive classifications. Thank you.

[@adr5518]

thank you so much for sharing your amazing knowledge.But what about chest X ray lesson 7 ?

[@StrongMed]

I realized that some subscribers may not be into chest X-rays, so I decided to mix in a couple of other topics. I'm planning 2 more PFT videos in the next couple of days, then back to lesson 7 of chest X-rays.

[@SudiptaNaskar]

Strong Medicine , Thank you sir.. Your lectures are very very helpful.. Please keep it up..

[@sukhendu1974]

My PFT results are as FEV1 and FVC is both 77 percent against prediction, FEV!/ FVC is 0.81, PEF and MVV value is 92 percent and 91 percent against prediction. Is is obstructive or restrictive?

[@StrongMed]

I'm sorry, but I can't interpret the personal test results of individual viewers. I recommend speaking with the physician who had ordered the PFTs for you.

[@amstrongsamuel3201]

excellent interpretation

[@4tich770]

DR STRONG Could sleep apnea qualify for restictive diseases? or obstructive BECAUSE OR BECAUSE NOT THANK YOU VERY MUCH

[@user-jc5vf2hm7h]

Thank you sir ❤️

[@malasinha2037]

[@tronerx826]

[@drdone1]

It is excellent video. Could you please upload a tutorial on Pulmonary physiology related to lung functions tests as soon as possible.

[@StrongMed]

drdone1 You may find the rest of the videos in the PFT series answer some of your questions. As far as new videos specifically about pulmonary physiology, I hope to make them at some point, but I'm so far behind on fulfilling viewer requests, that I can't make any predictions on when I'll get to them. I'm very sorry.

[@dr.jeetendraraghuwanshi1644]

Thank you so much,,,,your all videos are vrry awsome,,

[@subhradeepsonowal6241]

Has ne1else noticed "don draper" in the pft report? Mad man reference ?

[@mrsrosie022870]

I applied for disability and they sent me for a PFT but I don’t know how to read it. Is there anyone that read them for me? I have chronic COPD, among other things. I just want to see if someone can tell me what the results are.

[@StrongMed]

I would show them to your primary care doctor (or preferably your pulmonologist, if you have one)

[@ricardooceguera2393]
