What are the 5 purposes of performing a PFT? 1. To identify and quantify changes in pulmonary function due to disease 2. To
evaluate the effectiveness of therapy 3. To perform epidemiological surveillance
for pulmonary disease 4. To assess a patients risk for post operative
complications 5. To determine pulmonary disability [Diagnosis]
Are spirometers volume or flow measuring devices? Volume
What is the accuracy of a measurement? The closeness of agreement between the results of a measurement and the true
value. (The result should be accurate to the amount put in. Eg. We test the PFT
machines daily with a 3 L syringe and assess that results are within 2.5% of each
other in order to confirm accuracy.)

When using a 3L syringe to calibrate a PFT device, how <3% (90 ml. If your calibration isn't within +/- 0.09 L then it isn't acceptable! No
close do the results of multiple tests need to be for the greater than 3.09, No lower than 2.91!)
device to be determined accurate.
How often should a spirometry device be calibrated? Once a day (The 3 L syringe does not need to be used between patients!
Remember to do this at the beginning of the shift. However for DLCO, nitrogen
washout, and helium dilution there will need to be a different calibration
performed right before each test [<3 minutes].)
What is the repeatability of a measurement? The closeness of agreement between the results of successive measurements
carried out with the SAME CONDITIONS (The results of the same device should
be the same as long as no parameters are changed.)
