Indications for Pulmonary Function
Testing
CHAPTER OUTLINE
Pulmonary Function Tests Congestive Heart Failure
Airway Function Tests Lung Transplantation
Lung Volume and Ventilation Tests Preliminaries to Patient Testing
Diffusing Capacity Tests Testing During a Pandemic
Blood Gases and Gas Exchange Tests Before Patient Testing
Cardiopulmonary Exercise Tests Patient Preparation (Pretest Instructions)
Metabolic Measurements Withholding Medications
Indications for Pulmonary Function Testing Smoking Cessation
Spirometry Other Patient Preparation Issues
Lung Volumes Anthropometric Measurements
Diffusing Capacity Physical Assessment
Blood Gases Pulmonary History
Exercise Tests Test Performance and Sequence
Patterns of Impaired Pulmonary Function Technologist-Driven Protocols (Operator-Driven
Obstructive Airway Diseases Protocols)
Restrictive Lung Disease Patient Instruction
Diseases of the Chest Wall and Pleura Summary
Neuromuscular Disorders Case Study
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
After studying the chapter and reviewing the figures, tables, and case studies, you should be able to do the
following:
Entry-level
1. Categorize pulmonary function tests according to specific purposes.
2. List indications for spirometry, lung volumes, and diffusing capacity.
3. Identify at least one obstructive and one restrictive pulmonary disorder.
4. Relate pulmonary history to indications for performing pulmonary function tests.
Advanced
1. Identify three indications for exercise testing.
2. Name at least two diseases in which air trapping may occur.
3. Describe which services are available during Level I and Level II of a pandemic.
4. Describe the use of an operator-adapted protocol for pulmonary function studies.
