Hematological tests aid in assess. of what?
CP disease
Lung Diseases: 2 types
- Restrictive
- Obstructive
Hematological tests:
Anemia
LOW Hb
LOW RBC
LOW Hematocrit
*immune response
These are indicated to rule OUT PE
V/Q scans
V/Q scans
- Xenon gas used to measure regional distribution of ventilation in lungs
- pt inhales gas and holds breath while ventilation scans are made over lung field
FEV1/FVC=====
Air OUT 1sec/Air OUT entire time
Cytological Tests are checking for:
Bacteria
Fungi
Protozoa
Viruses
Flow-volume graph/loop
Normal
Restrictive
Obstructive

HCO3-
- KIDNEY BASED
- metabolic
- Bicarb is a BASE
- makes blood more BASIC!!!
Advantages vs. Disadvantages
Chest CT vs. Chest radiography (xray)

ABG
clinical notes:
ABGs are…..
time dependent
Pulmonary Function Test
all volumes and capacities
see pics

V/Q scans described by:
Neg.
Low Prob of PE
Intermed. Prob of PE
High Prob of PE
Abnormal ABG:
Acidosis
pH>7.35
PCO2> 45
HCO3- <22
What should you remember about “Capacities”
HAS TO BE MORE THAN ONE VOLUME ALWAYS
Normal Chest radiographs
