THANK YOU! I could not get this straight in my head for a whole year of class and now I get it. Now I can apply it to my questions for next semester!

@martameek5558 5 лет назад

THANK YOU for this clear explanation that will certainly help me understand what my test results are all about.

Best explanation of PFTs interpretation EVER!!!.

@11rmedina 3 года назад

This made much more sense when I watched it the second time around. Thank you for this explanation. I understand now and drawing your chart makes it even better.

@marcscheel4372 5 лет назад

I had the test in the other video and the results show acronyms not used in this video so I was unable to interpret what they mean. It did help me on a couple and I appreciate that. I see a pulmonary specialist next week and I just wanted to get a jump on that. Thanks so much.

@kathleenhernandez6483 9 лет назад

+Steven Broadbent Thank you for the feedback!

@crackerjack4u 6 лет назад

Great Video. I love learning new How TOs :). All my test results went exactly as explained until the very end. According to my >80% DLCO/VA I should have been classified as Extrinsic, but the diagnoses I received was COPD which according the video falls under the Intrinsic category.

@drjuhipt9535 5 лет назад

Helpful. thanks

@dloquetepierdes 7 лет назад

Great video, although I would've liked to see the differentiation between asthma and COPD by administration of the bronchodilator test. I was kind of searching for that.

@larachenard6379 9 лет назад

awesome!!! Thank you so much... PFTs were the bane of my existence until I watched this video.......

@Medcram 9 лет назад

@hallaelhosainy6136 8 лет назад

again thank you for this great help and easy explanation..I would suggest videos about cardiac murmurs and interpretation of cardiac auscultation..thanks

@Medcram 8 лет назад

+Halla Elhosainy Thanks for the topic suggestions

@kathleenhernandez6483 9 лет назад

Can PFT help in the diagnosis of pulmonary embolism?

@punkybauer1 8 лет назад

this would have been great if a lab report was shown with it to find the numbers.. Thanks!

@fortwisers6070 4 года назад

For a 9 year old child would a > 0.7 FEV1/FVC ratio still be used?

@gracemalayan3977 Год назад

Can you also give lecture on impulse oscillometry interpretation? Thanks

@roseannmahowald6122 8 лет назад

Is a spirometry test just taken in a regular doctors office at all reliable?

@tammyhahn9572 3 года назад

If performing a spirometry test, how would you determine what the TLC is?

@senthilvsn 8 лет назад

why can't we see fev1/fvc ratio instead of tlc if fvc is less than 80 percent..pls answer thank you.

@alishakircheis4716 7 лет назад

I have my Respiratory exam next week and felt like I should brush up on PFT's. You explained PFT interpretation way better than anyone I have met during my entire time at school. I'm still a bit confused on spotting combined obstructive-Restrictive defects. My understanding is that if FEV1, FVC, and FEV1/FVC ratio is decreased then you have combined. Is this the case? or am I understanding incorrectly? Thanks so much for your video's.

@Medcram 7 лет назад

Thanks so much for the comment Alisha. Combined would be low FEV1 / FVC ratio and low TLC. Best wishes on your exam.

Have you considered "cheat sheets" in PDF or something similar?

@leila1379 4 года назад

My dlco was 81 now 74 Bc of allergic to dogs can I bring back to 81? And also what is a normal dlco percent for 25 year old female?

@ELFCloudGamer 6 лет назад

I thought in the previous video it said that if VA was the same as DLCO (and therefore when DLCO/VA=100%) it was extrinsic lung disease

@user-lq7lg5jt4k 6 лет назад

that's consistent with what is said in this video

@hallaelhosainy6136 8 лет назад

and ECG please :)

Hello Doctor I do have a question about my Pulmonary Function test cause my Pulmonary doctor did nothing to explain my reults with me. Firstly doctor I would like to say that I am a 22 year old male 164 lbs and height is 70 inches. my results with my pulmonary function test are as follows.. Fev1: 4.33 L Fev1: 98% Fvc: 4.94 L Fev1/Fvc: 88% TLC: 6.18 L TLC: 88% RV: 0.92 L RV/TLC: 15% DLCO/VA: 6.25 I'm concerned with my results Doctor cause when I go to use the CDC calculator it shows the standard for all of the results and then it shows the lower limit but I'm in between. This concerns me cause from my results wouldn't this show restrictive lung disease? I should also state that I am a non smoker and I very healthy individual but I have been around second hand smoke throughout my life and now that I am working at the fire department we have dust collecting up in our station daily and we always have to sweep it out. Doctor can you explain my results to me and help me understand why I seem to be lower? I'm also a white male (forgot to mention this). The doctor did say that I showed "slight improvement with the bronchodilator but it was enough to diagnose asthma. I'm honestly worried about COPD. No lung diseases run in my family doctor but heart disease does and the reason why I sought out a pulmonary doctor in the first place is due to the fact that I struggle to complete my deep breaths. it seems like I can't fully complete them and seems restricted but I'm not sure what could be causing this. Hope to hear back soon doctor. Thanks for all the great videos as well.

@Medcram 7 лет назад

+Matthew Costa you don't have copd in the classic sense based on your pfts. Of course I can't examine you so I don't have all the info but I would recommend seeing a pulmonologist if you are not improving. It might be worthwhile to get a methacholine challenge to evaluate for asthma. It's a breathing test that provokes your bronchial tubes to see if you have asthma. Ask your doctor.
