What will lung volumes show you?
Lung volumes are used to diagnose restrictive lung disease and to assess for hyperinflation in obstructive lung disease. With restrictive lung disease, TLC, VC, and RV may be decreased due to the inability of the lungs to expand properly.
The lungs are restricted from fully expanding and filling with air. In an obstructive disease such as COPD, patients may develop hyperinflation, which will result in a higher than normal TLC and RV. Conversely, IC will be decreased due to air trapping in the lungs.
Lung volume testing with the EasyOne Pro LAB provides fast, accurate, and fully automated measurements without the need for a body box. Its compact design and TrueFlow and TrueCheck technologies ensure reliable results for comprehensive lung assessment in most clinical settings.
