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
- Spirometry, which demonstrates:
