Data Assumptions Met
81
PV (Pressure Volume) Test
82
Test Starts When Flow Is Zero
82
At TLC, Volume Rises as Pressure Falls
82
At TLC, Volume Drops as Pressure Falls
83
Almost Vertical Volume Drop Immediately after the Hold Period
83
Expiratory Duration Should be Long Enough
83
Volume Should Rise Steadily During Inspire to TLC
83
Volume-Pressure Curve Is Smooth
83
Overlays of Consecutive PV Tests Differ
84
FV (Flow Volume) Test
85
Ripples or Squiggles Near the End of the Flow-Volume Curve
85
A Flat Top of the Flow Volume Curve
85
A Dip in the Center of the Flow-Volume Curve
85
Generally Rounded Flow-Volume Curve
85
FVC Value Is Wildly Different than IC
