    Your lectures are really nice. I am working at hospital as a nurse in Korea.These day I always study your youTube. It is very fun. I understand about disease easily. Thank you so much.

    Excellent explanation. I'm having the first PFT I've had in 38 years, since I was diagnosed with asthma at age 15.

    Thank you so much for these videos; specifically "Chronic Cough, PFT etc. I've experienced almost annual Bronchial Pneumonia or Bronchitis and chronic coughing lasting 3 - 4 months. 2 prescriptions of Antibiotics this year (Jan. Mar. 2015), I am resisting family pressure and the traditional medicine approach to go for a third. I've joined a private clinic which practices an integrated medicine approach and we're investigating the 3 pronged causality outlined in your Chronic Cough video. I, at last, have hope.
    Thank you again.

    '25 as good as your lung function will ever be'. I started sighing again, akin to involuntary taking these deep breaths. Last time I did that I was 15 (and had pretty good lungs)

    Hi Dr Roger good day to you I'm working on a project which requires me to do spirometry test on individuals exposed to cement dust and make conclusions. However my spirometer only gives the PEF and FEV1 values . Please tell me how I can use these values to make conclusions and any health problems with the test subjects. Please I really need your help .

    Is it possible for someone who has very mild breathing problems to be able to pass the test ? Or is it super strict to the point where if you have even a slight amount of breathing issues you’ll fail the test ?

  • @sameermane5109
    @sameermane5109 4 роки тому

    Correlations between C-ACT scores and pulmonary function test results were poor for children aged 5 to11 years with asthma. FEV1, FVC, FEF25, FEF50, FEF75, and PEFR were not significantly correlated with C-ACT scores.

    If you want accuracy, measure height with a stadiometer. 90% of patients, if asked, add several inches to their true height. Since stadiometers are rarely used, height, along with respiratory rate, are two of the least accurate measurements in the physical exam.

    So what you're saying is that a person who's abnormal at that graph level you showed wouldn't be able to put on a full face mask with dust filters and go 8 hours is that correct, or even having a blasting respirator mask with airfed wouldn't be able to work 8 hours is that correct minus the 10 minutes for break half an hour for lunch 10 minutes for break again are you saying that person is unfit unable so that person's not abnormal that person's handicapped am I right.

      If we ignore known differences then we call disease when there really isn’t. This labels minorities with diseases that they don’t have. That’s racist.
