Selecting the FEV1
Your reply |
A patient has produced 3 flow-volume curves. You select the largest FEV1 of the 3 maneuvers to assess ventilatory function. |
 |
You appear to adhere to international recommendations.
Conforming to an internationally adopted standard is very
important. It is the only way to ensure that measurements
are comparable, regardless of where and by whom they were
performed. Did you take into account whether each FVC maneuver was performed correctly? |
Is the above the only requirement for selecting the FEV1 from amongst several maneuvers?
- Yes, it is
the only requirement.
- No, more requirements need to be met.
- You do not know.
