ANGWECH ANNET
PPTX56 pages1.2 MB
The document begins by outlining key symptoms of respiratory illness such as cough, sputum, breathlessness, wheezing, and chest pain, along with relevant medical and social history questions. It then describes the physical examination of a patient, focusing on general assessment and a detailed examination of the chest. The text also delves into pulmonary function tests (PFTs), explaining concepts like residual volume (RV), total lung capacity (TLC), functional residual capacity (FRC), and diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (DLCO). Finally, it discusses the role of PFTs in assessing patients for lung resection surgery and lung transplantation, including risk stratification based on predicted postoperative lung function.
