However, the FEV1/FEV6 ratio provides accurate surrogate measure for the FEV1/FVC ratio.12 The reported FEV1 and FEV6 values should be rounded to the nearest 0.1 L and the percent predicted and the FEV1/FEV6 ratio to the nearest integer.13.

That means you will be required to know the normal ranges in order to select the correct answer. Margolis ML, The Framingham study identified a low forced vital capacity (FVC) as a risk factor for premature death.6 The Third National Health and Nutritional Examination Survey and the multicenter Lung Health Study showed potential benefits for patients with early identification, intervention, and treatment of COPD.7,8 The Lung Health Study was the first study to show that early identification and intervention in smokers could affect the natural history of COPD.7 These surveys also showed that simple spirometry could detect mild airflow obstruction, even in asymptomatic patients.

This is the largest amount of air that you can forcefully exhale after breathing in as deeply as you can. The Predicted column compares the actual volume breathed out during the first second of your test to an average of the normal volume breathed out in 1 second for a person of the same gender, height, and age.

A spirometermeasures the speed that lungs change in volume during forced breathing exercises beginning with a full inhalation, you rapidly empty your lungs of air and continue until max exhalation volume. Pulmonary function tests: comparison of 95th percentile-based and conventional criteria of normality. An estimate of flow, or the rate at which the volume is changing as a function of time can also be calculated with spirometry. Interpretations of spirometry results demand a comparison between the measured value of an individual and reference value. When compared to the reference value, a lower measured value corresponds to a more severe lung abnormality. ■ Gender is taken in consideration as men usually have higher pulmonary volumes than women. 0000028628 00000 n

The result is extrapolated to 60 seconds and reported in liters per minute. Am Fam Physician. The NLHEP recommends that primary care physicians perform spirometry in patients 45 years of age or older who are current or former smokers; in patients who have a prolonged or progressive cough or sputum production; or in patients who have a history of exposure to lung irritants.9 Other indications for spirometry are to determine the strength and function of the chest, follow disease progression,15,16 assess response to treatment,17,18 and obtain baseline measurements before prescribing drugs that are potentially toxic to the lungs, such as amiodarone (Cordarone) and bleomycin (Blenoxane).19 Spirometry also is helpful in preoperative risk assessment for many surgeries20-23 and often is used in workers' compensation and disability claims to assess occupational exposure to inhalation hazards.24 Tables 3 and 4 list indications and contraindications for spirometry. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is the most common respiratory disease and the fourth leading cause of death in the United States.1 Despite preventive efforts, the number of new patients with COPD has doubled in the past decade, and this trend is likely to continue.2,3 Evidence indicates that a patient's history and physical examination are inadequate for diagnosing mild and moderate obstructive ventilatory impairments.4 Although a complete pulmonary function test provides the most accurate objective assessment of lung impairment, spirometry is the preferred test for the diagnosis of COPD because it can obtain adequate information in a cost-effective manner.

His predicted peak flow value would be 639.948 L/min. Bethesda, Maryland, August 29–31, 1995. The final step in interpreting spirometry is to determine if additional testing is needed to further define the abnormality detected by spirometry. Normal lungs generally can empty more than 80 percent of their volume in six seconds or less. 0000005250 00000 n
