Improvements in left heart function were observed after the treatent, including a 17.9% reduction in pulmonary capillary wedge pressure, a measure of pressure in the left side of the heart, and a 17.4 ...

What are pulmonary function tests? Pulmonary function tests (PFTs) are tests that show how well your lungs are working. The tests measure lung volume, capacity, rates of flow, and gas exchange. This ...

During this procedure, a tracer is injected into a vein in the patient’s arm to show the air and blood flow in the lungs. This test is used to determine if blood clots are in the lungs’ vessels and ...

Figure 1 (A) Volume–time spirograph. (B) Reproducible early expiratory notch (red arrow) on flow–volume loops. Full lung function testing was arranged and the flow–volume loop was immediately flagged ...

Spirometry is a type of pulmonary function test that provides information about the function of the lungs and can be used for a variety of purposes. The test uses a spirometer, which is a ...

Georgian Bay General Hospital (GBGH) will now be able to provide full pulmonary function testing (PFT) as part of its commitment to grow and align the hospital’s services to meet community needs.

There are two key measurements obtained during a spirometry test, of which include the peak expiratory flow (PEF) and forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1). PEF is the fastest rate that air ...
