PFT contraindications anything that would worsen by putting max pressure through chest:
- recent MI
- unstable angina
- recent thoracic/abdominal surgery


specialized PFTs - ABGs
- exercise oximetry
- 6MWT


lung volume assessment most accurate when done in resp. clinics using Plesmography


tidal volume (TV) amount of air inhaled and exhaled during normal breathing


inspiratory reserve volume (IRV) extra air you can breathe in after normal inhale


expiratory reserve volume (ERV) extra air you can breathe out after normal exhale


residual volume (RV) amount of air left in lungs after max exhale
- keeps lungs inflated

minute ventilation total volume of air inhaled and exhaled in 1 minute


what is lung capacity based on? lung volume




inspiratory capacity max you can inhale
- TV + IRV


functional residual capacity volume of air left in lungs after normal exhale
- ERV + RV
