MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. Who first popularized spirometry for the evaluation of pulmonary function?
a. August and Marie Krogh
b. Alvan Barach
c. John Severinghaus
d. John Hutchinson
ANS: D
Hutchinson popularized the concept of using VC to assess lung function, and the
names he gave to several other lung compartments are still used today.

2. Which of the following are indications for performing spirometry?
1. Assess the risk of lung resection.
2. Determine the response to bronchodilator therapy.
3. Assess the severity of restrictive lung disease.
4. Quantify the extent of COPD.
a. 1 and 4
b. 2 and 3
c. 1 , 2, and 4
d. 2 , 3, and 4
ANS: C
Spirometry cannot assess severity of restriction; for that you need to measure
lung volumes ( see Box 1-2, Chapter 1).

b. Evaluate the severity of pulmonary hypertension.
c. Determine the level of cardiopulmonary fitness.
d. Assess the risk of abdominal surgical procedures.
