What is the most important function of the lungs? Gas exchange (bring in oxygen and remove carbon dioxide).
What four physiologic functions affect gas Ventilation, diffusion, perfusion, and ventilation/perfusion (V/Q) matching.

Why are PFTs done? (5 reasons) Diagnose disease, determine severity, monitor progression, evaluate
treatment, and assess surgical risk.
What are the contraindications for PFT? Recent heart attack/angina, recent surgery (eye/chest/abdomen),
pneumothorax, or active respiratory infection.
Two major categories of pulmonary disease? Obstructive and restrictive.
Primary problem with obstructive disease? Difficulty getting air out.
Primary problem with restrictive disease? Difficulty getting air in because lungs cannot fully expand.
Infection control for PFT includes: Hand hygiene, gloves, disposable mouthpieces, and equipment
disinfection.
Two types of measuring devices. What do they Volume measuring devices and flow measuring devices.
measure?
