“Pulmonary function test results?”
SPIROMETRY:
1. FEV-1/FVC is 0.79
2. FEV-1 is 2.73 L /85%
3. FVC is 3.45 L / 92%
4.There is a significant bronchodilator response.
LUNG VOLUMES:
1. TLC is 4.97 L / 99%
2. RV/TLC is 0.28
DIFFUSING CAPACITY:
1. Diffusing capacity is 72%
2. DLCO/VA is 71%
INTERPRETATION:
1. Prebronchodilator spirometry showed moderate obstructive lung
disease with a significant bronchodilator response.
2. Lung volumes are within normal limits with no restriction,
hyperinflation, nor air trapping.
3. Diffusing capacity is mildly reduced.
A nurse told me it is COPD. Is that the case?
