PFT Exam Complete Questions And
Answers
PFT CORRECT ANSWERS Pulmonary Function testing, Clinical examination used to
evaluate the lung function of a particular individual and help to determine an answer to
clinical question
PFT Determines CORRECT ANSWERS Obstruction or Restrictive
If meds are effecting the lungs from start to finish
Airway function CORRECT ANSWERS Spirometry
Categories of PFT CORRECT ANSWERS Lung volume and ventilation
DLCO Testing CORRECT ANSWERS Diffusing lung Carbon Monoxide
Pre/Post Bronchodrulator CORRECT ANSWERS For airflow obstruction also dilates
airway
Metabolic Measure CORRECT ANSWERS How much oxygen (O2) in and out
Pulmonary Function Obstruction CORRECT ANSWERS FLOW
No issue breathing in;
Issue getting AIROUT
Pulmonary Function Restrictive CORRECT ANSWERS VOLUME
something taking up space and lung area
ex) Tumor, stab wound
Issue getting AIR IN: not out
When does Tuberclent Occurs? CORRECT ANSWERS When we have constriction in
airway
ex) Asthma = Obstruction in flow
COPD CORRECT ANSWERS Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
C
B
A
B
E CORRECT ANSWERS Cystic Fibrosis
Chronic Bronchitis, Has Mucus
Asthma
Bronchiectasis
, Emphysema
Bronchoprovication Challenge CORRECT ANSWERS Medication to irrate lungs to
challenge them
Spirometry ( Simple Airway Function) CORRECT ANSWERS First test to view vital
capacity,
Expitatory Resisuade volume
and Inspiratory capacity
What is Spirometry used for? CORRECT ANSWERS Small device to change volume
and flow
VC CORRECT ANSWERS Vitale Capacity
6 seconds of Air in and out
Ic= ERV + TV + IRC = Vital Capacity CORRECT ANSWERS Expiratory Reserve
Volume + Tidal volume + Inspiratory Reserved Capacity
DLCO Diffusing Lung Carbon Monoxide CORRECT ANSWERS Use Common
Monoxide instead or 02
Test the ability to transfer Monoxide
Tests after Spirometry, Lung, Volume , and DLCO CORRECT ANSWERS Blood gas
and gas exchange
Cardiopulmonary Exercise Test
Metabolic Measurement
Blood gas and gas exchange CORRECT ANSWERS EX) Capnography , Pluse
oximetry, Blood Oximetry
Cardiopulmonary Exercise Test CORRECT ANSWERS To determine volume
EX) Test with exhaled gas analysis
Metabolic Measurement CORRECT ANSWERS Resting Energy Expenditure or
Substrate Utilization
When to Use PFT CORRECT ANSWERS Diagnosis the presence of Lung Disease
Assess risk for surgical Procedures
Evaluate impairment or disabilities
Asses supplemental 02 regiment ot venting support
Before doing a PFT CORRECT ANSWERS 6,12,24hrs [ No use of meds]
