We can measure blood pressure when dizziness and headache, we can do electrocardiogram when the heart is uncomfortable, but always cough, sputum, ineffective after anti-inflammatory, have you ever thought of doing pulmonary function test? Zhong Nanshan, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, called on people to pay attention to chronic respiratory diseases at several major conferences and World COPD Day, and to "check lung function like taking blood pressure."
Pulmonary function examination is one of the necessary examinations for respiratory diseases. It is mainly used to detect the degree of patency of respiratory tract and the size of lung capacity, to detect lung and airway lesions in the early stage, to assess the severity and prognosis of the disease, to evaluate the efficacy of drugs or other treatment methods, to identify the causes of dyspnea, and to diagnose the lesion site. It is of great clinical value to evaluate lung function in operation tolerance, labor intensity tolerance and monitoring of critically ill patients.
How to do lung function test?
1. Do not be nervous before operation and cooperate with the doctor;
2. Keep breathing through the mouth and clench the mouth as much as possible to ensure that there is no air leakage during the test, and immediately exhale and inhale according to the doctor's command;
3. Inhale as much as possible during the operation, and then exhale with maximum force and maximum speed.
The Clinical significance of pulmonary function examination?
1. Diagnose chronic respiratory diseases such as bronchial asthma and COPD
2. Identify the causes of dyspnea and chronic cough
3. To evaluate the type and severity of lung function impairment
4. Monitor the effects of medications and other treatments
5. Assess disease progression and prognosis
6. Assess the risks of thoracic and abdominal surgery
7. Evaluation of labor intensity and endurance
