Pulmonary Function Test
- A 25-year-old man is seen by a pulmonologist for exercise-related shortness of breath, which occurs after 10 minutes of intense workout and requires a 40-second break to catch his breath.
Lung Function and Spirometry
- The main job of the lungs is gas exchange, pulling oxygen into the body and getting rid of carbon dioxide.
- During an inhale, the diaphragm contracts and chest muscles contract to pull in air; during an exhale, the muscles relax, allowing the lungs to spring back to their normal size.
- A spirometer is used to measure the volume of air that moves in and out of the lungs with each breath, a test called spirometry.
Spirometry Results
- The plot of a healthy adult's spirometry results shows volume of air on the vertical axis and time on the horizontal axis.
- The tidal volume, typically around 0.5 L or 500 ml, is the volume of air moving in and out with each breath during normal, quiet breathing.
- The inspiratory reserve volume, typically around 3 liters, is the volume of air that can be maximally inhaled above the tidal volume.
- The expiratory reserve volume, typically around 1.2 liters, is the volume of air that can be maximally exhaled below the tidal volume.
- The residual volume, typically around 1.2 liters, is the amount of air that remains in the lungs after attempting to exhale all the air.
Lung Volumes
- Major lung volumes include the tidal volume, inspiratory reserve volume, expiratory reserve volume, and the residual volume.
- The functional residual capacity can be determined from a pulmonary function test.
