Pulmonary Function Tests - PFT Interpretation Explained (Pulmonology)

[@eliztaylor2]

This algorithm was very helpful for my mid-term exam in my family nurse practitioner program. I was able to memorize the diagram in my head which helped me to remember for the exam. I am a audio/visual learner, so diagrams are very helpful to me.

Thank you so much. This made me understand better then anything I’ve watched

Im an aspiring Respiratory Therapist. I hope i can pass the last leg of my course that includes PFT interpretation

[@diptanusaha5887]

Sir, how can we distinguish between asthma and emphysema from Lung Function Test

[@drgadham]

GREAT TEACHING

[@JM-ig4ed]

Thanks for all your videos -

[@mdhen4]

I thought TLC couldn't be obtained with spirometry as the residual volume isn't measured. The residual volume has to be measured with some kind of body plethysmography or formal pulmonary function tests.

Thank you!

Amazing video! Thank you so much!

Dear Sir as per my PFT Both FEV1 and FVC is 77 percent against prediction, FEV1/ FVC is 0.81, PEF and MVV is 92 percent and 91 percent against Prediction. May you explain whether is it obstructive or restrictive lung disease? Thank you

[@lavsmal9372]

Thank you. This really helped

[@fizzanaqvi3570]

Thank you thank you thank you sooooo much💜 you really helped me alot

[@viktoriousextensions394]

Awesome. Thank you so much!

[@SuzyQ1956]

What if you take the PFT and the respiratory therapist says your numbers are 189 what does that mean?

[@Aesthetics.Torres]

Great video! Sharing this with friends!

[@Medcram]

Thank you for spreading the word!

[@lotsofthisandthat9791]

How do you determine TLC I. The equation? Does the PFT computer provide this number? Thank you! Thumbs up on all your videos!

[@jabbarshah7631]

So actually spirometer gives FVC FEV1 & TLC values then we need to compare FVC with Predicted FVC of that pt....to r/o if it's Restrictive or not & FEV1 vs FVC ratio to r/o if it's obstructive or not.. more over Obstructive is possible whether Fvc is over 80% of expected or lesser,depending on FEV1/Fvc ratio & TLC respectively....worthy noting that once Fvc is over 80% expected fcv Restriction pathaology is always absent.....

Thanks! I got my test results back today and kinda bummed there wasn’t any sort of “on a scale of 1 to 10 here is how crappy your lungs are” statement. I’m curious about all the data

[@nighthawk5301]

I had pribably my 5tj pft today. I have asthma and for the first time ever it took 8 times and evevn then it wouldnt give clear results i guess. What does that even mean? I funished the time it takes for each breath but still she said it wasnt enough. Any idea what this mean?

[@crerar01]

So my Dr says I don't have COPD, or Emphysema. But moderate obstruction. I'm still on 2-3 liters while sitting. Any physical like walking is 8 liters. Already the house, I can do 4-6 liters and be okay. I was in a coma for 1 full month, with my lungs collapse in twice and a chest tube along with getting trached. I know my lungs are scarred, but they don't say much. Thru haven't told me I would be on 02 for life, but also vague with treatment. Help?!?😊

Thank you for the videos 🇳🇵

[@Medcram]

Thank you!

[@lotsofthisandthat9791]

TLC>.80? How do determine TLC in the algorithm? Thank-you!

SPIROMETRY

[@dlopdx]

Mine was 94 then it went up to 105 after I got rid of Guinea pigs, is this good or bad

[@JM-ig4ed]

Thanks for this explanation. I have pulmonary hypertension which contributes to my shortness of breath - 02 levels are always good. My PH was determined to be secondary to COPD. But, when I look at my numbers against what you are showing here - all my numbers are essentially normal. Now wondering why they are saying PH is secondary to COPD when my PFT numbers are virtually normal.

[@usmanyousoph7589]

Fev1/fvc ratio 70%

[@hassanainkhaleel2226]

Nice

the background music is v annoying. hard to concentrate on the leclture
