Vital Capacity (VC) requirement for ventilator weaning 10 to 15 ml/Kg of body weight.


Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) Maximum volume of air forcibly exhaled after the deepest possible breath.


Forced Expiratory Volume in One Second (FEV1) Volume of air forcibly exhaled in the first second of exhalation.




FEF 25%-75% Flow rate of the middle half of the FVC; highly sensitive for obstruction.


Maximal Voluntary Ventilation (MVV) Breathing rapidly and fully for 12-15 seconds; measures respiratory muscle
strength.

General rule for obstructive vs. restrictive pathology Impeded flow suggests obstructive; reduced volume suggests restrictive.


Total Lung Capacity (TLC) formula Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) plus Residual Volume (RV).


Normal PFT severity classification Greater than 85% of predicted values.


Mild pulmonary disease classification Between 65% and 85% of predicted values.


Moderate pulmonary disease classification Between 50% and 65% of predicted values.


Severe pulmonary disease classification Less than 50% of predicted values.


FEV1/FVC ratio indicating restrictive lung disease 88% to 90% or higher.

FEV1/FVC ratio indicating obstructive lung disease 69% or lower.


Normal arterial PCO2 range 35 to 45 mm Hg.


Ventilatory failure definition PaCO2 greater than 50 mm Hg.


Normal human blood pH 7.4


Normal Base Excess (BE) range -1 to +1


Normal PaO2 range 80 to 100 mm Hg.


Mild hypoxemia PaO2 range 60 to 80 mm Hg.


Moderate hypoxemia PaO2 range 40 to 60 mm Hg.
