Question on PFT. Could I get some input on the results of my MIP and MEP testing please:
Baseline Spirometry is within normal limits. There is a significant decrease in flow rates in the supine position suggesting decreased muscle strength.
The Maximal Inspiratory pressure is within normal limits, but the maximal expiratory pressure is markedly decreased. This again, suggests significant musculoskeletal difficulty with decreased recoil strength of the ribcage or abnormal movement of the diaphragm. Further assessment would be of benefit…
