Pulmonary Function Tests (PFT): Lesson 1 - An Introduction

An introduction to the interpretation of pulmonary function tests. Covered in this first lesson are indications for PFTs, types of PFTs, and an overview of the subdivisions of lung volume.

Errata: @9:23, I meant to write and say "functional RESIDUAL capacity", not "functional RESERVE capacity". (That error makes me feel particularly dumb!)

Thank you for your videos; I've only seen the first two so far however as a newly certified Spirometry Nurse Educator I found these very reinforcing to what I initially learned. You do a nice job all around.

Hello Dr. Eric
I am working in a Thorax surgery department .
one of the routine tests that we carry out for patients with lung tumor is spiro-ergometry and scintigraphy  to determine the operability of the patients .
I guess a lesson on pulmonary embolus would be highly instructive for all residents and you can then explain the Ventilation - Perfusion scan .
Plus it would be highly informative to talk a little bit about exercise or stress tests .

Thank you for your highly needed efforts .
