Overview
Other diagnostic studies for occupational lung disease include spirometry, which distinguishes obstructive from restrictive lung disease.
Other Diagnostic Studies
- Other diagnostic studies for occupational lung disease include:[1]
- Spirometry, which demonstrates:
- Forced vital capacity
- Forced expiratory volume in one second
- A normal result is equal to approximately 0.8
- A result of < 0.8 indicates an obstructive lung disease
- A result of > 0.8 indicates a restrictive lung disease
- Bronchoscopy and bronchoalveolar lavage, which demonstrates:
- Blockages
- Foreign bodies
- Anatomy
- May be used to take a biopsy or cellular sample
- Spirometry, which demonstrates:
