Hi, Nice video. How many puffs of salbutamol we give for after dilation test? What dosis do we use?

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?

These are just ventilation measurements not gas exchange

So doing spirometry testing on ILDs or Covid patients you aren't going to learn much as these are Gas Exchange not ventilatory Lung Diseases.
