Lung Function Test In subject area: Nursing and Health Professions The term pulmonary function test (PFT) refers to a standardized measurement of a patient's airflow (spirometry), lung volumes, and diffusing capacity for inspired carbon monoxide (DLCO). ...
The pulmonary function test (PFT), including spirometry and diffusing capacity (DLCO), was performed before and after three months of EGFR-TKI therapy. After three months, the patients were divided into groups based on the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria and the ...
Lung function usually is assessed byspirometry,body plethysmography, and measurement of thediffusing capacityforcarbon monoxide(DLCO), with restrictive, obstructive, mixed restrictive-obstructive patterns, and decreaseddiffusion capacityhaving been reported. Decreased diffusion capacity is the most frequent abnor...
Pulmonary function tests (PFTs) included spirometry, single breath hold carbon monoxide uptake test and body plethysmography. The tests were performed using Platinum Elite™ Series from MCG Diagnostics Corporation, St Paul Minnesota USA. The following parameters were measured: forced vital capacity (FVC...

In this issue of Respiratory Care, a report by Borg and Thompson[1][1] examines an aspect of the measurement of static lung volumes according to recommendations in the 2005 American Thoracic Society (ATS)/European Respiratory Society (ERS) Standardisation of Lung Function Testing.[2][2]–[6]...
Longitudinal pulmonary function tests demonstrate decline of both forced vital capacity and lung diffusion capacity. FVC: forced vital capacity; DLCO: lung diffusion capacity. Full size image Factors associated with the progressive fibrosing phenotype We compared the 68 patients with a non-IPF-PF-ILD ...
For inflammatory interstitial lung disease (ILD), failure to improve dyspnea, oxygen requirement, and/or lung function after a clinically indicated trial of medical therapy. Timing of listing: Decline in FVC ≥10% during 6 months of follow-up Decline in DLCO ≥15% during 6 months of follow...
The largest change in lung function tests was a decrease in the diffusion capacity (DLCO) to 14% at 6 months and 12% at 12 months (statistically significant, P < 0.0001 paired t -test). The forced vital capacity (FVC) and the total lung capacity (TLC) showed a lesser decrease at 6 ...
Respiratory function testPulmonary diffusing capacityExercise toleranceBackgroundReduced forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV) has been associated with new-onset atrial fibrillation (AF), and AF patients often complain of dyspnea. We hypothesized that patients with permanent AF had reduced lung ...
