Choose the single best option.

The reason for reduction in FVC:

• True restriction

• Gas trapping due to airflow limitation

• Mixed obstructive-restrictive defect

• Needs Static Lung volumes measurements

Choose the single best option.

Choose the single best option.

• Variable extrathoracic upper airway obstruction

• Variable intrathoracic upper airway obstruction

• Fixed upper airway obstruction

• Obstructive defect with fixed upper airway obstruction

• Mixed Obstructive-Restrictive defect

Choose the single best option.

• Spirometry within normal limits

• Obstructive ventilatory defect

• Restrictive ventilatory defect

• Obstructive ventilatory defect with reduced FVC

• Nonspecific ventilatory defect

Choose the single best option

• The reduction in FVC is likely due to true restriction

• No significant response to inhaled bronchodilator

• Complete reversibility of airflow obstruction

• The reduction in FVC is likely due to pseudo-restriction

Choose the single best option:

• Reduced KCO & TLCO consistent with Pneumonectomy

• Restrictive defect with reduced TLCO consistent with ILD

• Obstructive defect with reduced TLCO consistent with Emphysema

• Reduced TLCO only consistent with Asthma
