Pulmonary Function Tests Other tests of lung function: 1. Lung mechanics -Resistance -Compliance 2. Distribution of Ventilation (N 2 delta) 3. Maximal Respiratory Pressures (MIP, MEP)
V/Q ratio
V/Q mismatch (3 -compartment model)
Lung volumes and capacities
How to measure FRC (RV, TLC) ? • Nitrogen washout method • Inert gas dilution technique • Plethysmography

The opposite is also true, of course! 8

Mechanism of hypoxaemia

Exercise tests in lung diseases 1. Exercise-induced asthma (EIA) - FEV 1 2. Interstitial lung disease (ILD) - SAT 3. Exercise tolerance in rehabilitation (COPD) cardiopulmonary exercise (CPX). Important variables: - work rate (watts), Sp. O 2, ABG - VO 2, VCO 2, RQ, VE - lactate threshold (LT) - breathing reserve (1 -VEmax/MVV) - heart rate reserve (1 -HRmax/220 -age)
