Common questions about Pulmonary Function Tests
Obstructive Pulmonary Dysfunction
Obstructive Pulmonary Dysfunction is characterized by airway obstruction, leading to limited airflow. Common in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma.
Localized Pulmonary Dysfunction
Localized Pulmonary Dysfunction refers to limited function in a specific part of the lung, possibly due to local lesions such as tumors or lung infections.
Restrictive Pulmonary Dysfunction
Restrictive Pulmonary Dysfunction is characterized by reduced elasticity of lung tissue or chest wall, leading to decreased lung volume. Common in pulmonary fibrosis and chest wall deformities.
