Errata: @9:23, I meant to write and say "functional RESIDUAL capacity", not "functional RESERVE capacity". (That error makes me feel particularly dumb!)
I just asked me self what am I doing watching this video. Im sooo stupid for such smart things like this... i was watch pranks videos and kept moving from one video to another tell i end up HERE.. but before i leave. I really appreicate your jobs guys you are the best.. in fact I did not see somone dislike it ..so keep uploading videos so bitches can do good in future... God bless all of you guys..
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-
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.
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 .
Thanks for the good information given by u Dr.are not giving this information abt lungs they r just giving med.they dont advise this exercise once again thanks
@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...
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
