Respiratory Therapy - Pulmonary Function Testing (Part 4/4) - Bringing it all together!

[@jesusestrada4447]

I just wanted to take a moment to extend my deepest thanks for the invaluable guidance you've provided to me and countless other respiratory therapy students. Your clear and concise explanations have been a game-changer in understanding complex concepts. Your dedication to educating and assisting future professionals in this field is truly commendable. Keep up the fantastic work!

[@RespiratoryCoach]

Thank you so much for watching and kindly commenting.

Watching in 2024. As a pulmonary patient, I have learned more from you in these 4-part series than literally any other channel out there - and I have watched plenty. Thank you for such a clear understanding. And... especially as it relates to Pulmonary Hypertension at the end of the video. I was originally diagnosed as COPD, but diagnosis has since changed to Asthma. Thanks again.

[@lorenasandoval5808]

Can you just be my teacher? 🤣 Thank you for making this clear! 🤘🤘

I can't thank you enough for teaching me and helping me to understand pulmonary function testing. I was so lost and frustrated then I decided to check out youtube. I just want to say thank you

[@RespiratoryCoach]

You're very welcome! Thank you for watching and kindly commenting!

Doing PFT class right now! Thank you for your wisdom!

[@ferhanibrahim810]

Thank you for explaining PFT in a best way possible 🙏🙏🙏.

[@angelasanchez4413]

Just binged watched all four in the series. Great stuff I've had a bit of asthma. When I was young, I was diagnosed with scleroderma 7 yrs ago and developed pulmonary arterial hypertension. Apparently my rheumatologist noticed some pulmonary fibrosis three years ago and didn't tell me? When my insurance changed and I had to get my records for my new rheumatologist I am noticing this and man am I confused… Thank you so much. I am a mathematician and I know a lot about PAH and asthma, but apparently I need to learn about PF too😮

[@RespiratoryCoach]

Thanks for watching and commenting. Best wishes!

Hi Adz. You do the same, my friend.

[@weekendwarrior8179]

Just a great review.

[@F22_Raptors]

In the last example that you showed, (abnormal DLco) you mentioned pulmonary HTN, but can pulmonary embolism also be the answer??

[@msalmankhan8339]

Thanks a lot ❤

[@michaelziegler223]

Hey Joe. I've been enjoying your videos. Keep up the good work. Your facial hair looks good. You don't look like a little kid anymore.

[@elizabethdowning8028]

Thanks for helping.. PFT has been really difficult. Rt student in Cali. Covid has consumed our studying.I have never seen a full test performed. Any chance you would post a test and then review? We appreciate you.

[@SpoonyG1236]

Love your videos! They have have been very helpful with learning now that everything is on Zoom. However I would like to know if you can do a video on EKG interpretations and treatments? Thank you!

[@RespiratoryCoach]

Thank you! I'm not one to recreate the wheel. My buddy over @ICUadvantage has a great series on EKG interpretation. Check it out and let me know what you think. kzbin.info/www/bejne/lXKtYoaMnaiYibM

[@HorganBlatt]

In that last question, could that decreased DLCO also be caused by anemia? I realize that we don't have the Hgb value, but could that also be an option in this scenario if everything else is normal and it's clear there's no lung disease at play?

[@khadijabelqas]

Here is a silly question without looking it up, how do we correct DLco to hg?

[@lilianasaucedo7240]

Hello ! I have a question so when they give you just FEV1 % and FVC the best indicator of obstructive desease will be FEV1? Thank you . Awesome explanations !!

[@awaisshafi6541]

What will happen to dead space in shallow and deep breathing?

[@RespiratoryCoach]

Hi, shallow doesn't change the amount of deadspace, but what does change is the percent of deadspace. For example, a patient with 120ml of deadspace, breathing a tidal volume of 500, equals a Vd/Vt of 120/500 = .24 or 24% deadspace. Alveolar tidal volume in this example is 380 mL. Now take the same patient, 120 mL of deadspace, breathing a tidal volume of 240, much smaller right? This patient's deadspace is the same amount as the previous example, but their Vd/Vt = 50%. This patient's alveolar tidal volume is 120 mL (240-120). So this illustrates that shallow breathing doesn't change the amount of deadspace, but it directly impacts Vd/Vt and alveolar tidal volume. Hope that makes sense and helps. Thanks for watching and asking your question.
