Pulmonary Function Test (PFT) Explained Clearly - Procedure, Spirometry, FEV1

I am scheduled for a PFT for a chronic cough on 1/8/2024

Very good.

What if you are a transgender, Do you go by your biological sex for the test?

I'm having a pft tomorrow, thanks for this info

I had my test today being honest for me it wasn't easy deep breath in and fast out left me feeling dizzy and my eyes went funny i didn't enjoy it .so she made me then take my blue and pink inhalers wait 10 mins and do it again .and she said test was much better she didn't give me result it's sat today and she said call my doctor on Monday and they will explain talk about leaving someone to worry

So what you're saying is that a person who's abnormal at that graph level you showed wouldn't be able to put on a full face mask with dust filters and go 8 hours is that correct, or even having a blasting respirator mask with airfed wouldn't be able to work 8 hours is that correct minus the 10 minutes for break half an hour for lunch 10 minutes for break again are you saying that person is unfit unable so that person's not abnormal that person's handicapped am I right.

I pray for the day race is out of the conversation completely!

'25 as good as your lung function will ever be'. I started sighing again, akin to involuntary taking these deep breaths. Last time I did that I was 15 (and had pretty good lungs)

Thank you for this explanation. I have to get this test in a couple of months, because I most likely have asthma.

Excellent explanation. I'm having the first PFT I've had in 38 years, since I was diagnosed with asthma at age 15.

I honestly don’t believe ethnicity plays a major role in studies such as these. Reason being is that everyone has a different genetic pool regardless of them being Black, White, Hispanic or Asian.

Thank you very much

Is it possible for someone who has very mild breathing problems to be able to pass the test ? Or is it super strict to the point where if you have even a slight amount of breathing issues you’ll fail the test ?

Very interesting

That moment when you're not a doctor or nurse or tech and not even in the medical industry but you just wanna understand shit. 😁👌

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR EXPLAINING WHAT PFT. MEANS. I WILL LET KNOW HOW GOES.THANK YOU.

what about Asians when taking race into consideration , what size is their lungs /navel position in comparison to blacks and whites

Why you gotta be racist??? Huh?? you’re discriminating my lungs 🫁 because I’m black??

What about weight in PFT ??

Thanks. I'm not a medical student, but I'm getting a pulmonary function test tomorrow and it's nice to know what will be going on.

Awesome video, thank you!

Why are the rest of the PFTs videos private? 🙁

If you want accuracy, measure height with a stadiometer. 90% of patients, if asked, add several inches to their true height. Since stadiometers are rarely used, height, along with respiratory rate, are two of the least accurate measurements in the physical exam.

Hi, I can't find the rest of the 5 on your channel

Wouldn’t your 80% fall under the 3 standard deviations ? So in the 99% ?

U r a good teacher
thank u

Thank you for making this video. I am studying medicine in country where english is not their native language. They promise to teach in english but it’s not 😔 so again, thank you finally i understand about this

I'm going to go get a PFT but I'm nervous

Title of this video is misleading -.-

Wua you the jest techet

Hi. Most of the videos in playlist are labled as "Private Video" and are not played. Please Help

Bs

Hi Dr Roger good day to you I'm working on a project which requires me to do spirometry test on individuals exposed to cement dust and make conclusions. However my spirometer only gives the PEF and FEV1 values . Please tell me how I can use these values to make conclusions and any health problems with the test subjects. Please I really need your help .

Gender or sex?? I have a lot of trans friends

you might be extremely knowledgable about medical topics but you don't "turn a crank" to power a computer

sir my FVC value is 4.19 this is good or i have asthama please reply me sir please please

Thank you!!!!

This explanation of the FEV is excellent. You explained my lung capacity better than my specialty VA medical professional.

Really nice, ununderstandable, explanation. Big up!!!

Easy to understand!!

Mind blowing how weight is not a factor in determining the FVC test

thanks
