A female patient presents with breathing difficulties. A
pulmonary function test is ordered. She has a VC of 2,900 ml
(normal is 4600ml), a TV of 450ml (normal 500ml), an IRV of 1850ml
(normal is 1900ml) and an ERV of 600 ml (normal is 700ml). She has
a forced expiratory volume in 1 second of 1800 ml (normal is
3000ml). Determine if this patient has obstructive or a restrictive
pulmonary disorder?
Given a rate of 15 what are her minute ventilation (total
pulmonary ventilation) and alveolar ventilation values (assume a
dead space of 150 ml)
