Will the PIFR and PEFR data be the same?
Madhur L.
1. What are the main components that predict lung volumes? Flow rates? 3. What factors could negatively affect peak expiratory flow? 4. What factors could positively affect forced vital capacity? 5. How is COPD typically diagnosed using PFT? What are the parameters, and what level of change is required for diagnosis? 6. Which of the measures you performed may be subject to changes with greater fitness? Why?
If you were to model asthma in terms of the independent variables (such as lower airway conductance, etc.) and dependent (such as FEV1%, VC, etc.) and how would you characterize it? Is this consistent with a clinical diagnosis? If you were to model emphysema in terms of independent and dependent variables, how would you characterize it? Is this consistent with a clinical diagnosis?
