* DIAGNOSTIC TESTS

OF RESPIRATORY
SYSTEM

.
* Pulmonary function tests (PFTs) are a group of
tests that measure how well your lungs work. This
includes how well you’re able to breathe and how
effective your lungs are able to bring oxygen to
the rest of your body.
The primary purpose of pulmonary function
testing is to identify the severity of pulmonary
impairment. Pulmonary function testing has
diagnostic and therapeutic roles and helps
clinicians answer some general questions about
patients with lung disease.

* An arterial blood gas (ABG) is a test run on an
arterial blood sample which can provide
information on a patient's acid-base balance
and ventilation by measuring the amount of
oxygen, carbon dioxide, and bicarbonate
present in the blood. These tests are often
ordered for critical care patients, but not
always, and can also occur in a
med-surg/telemetry unit.

ANALYSIS
There are five components in an ABG, and the
first three listed here are the most important for
being able to interpret the results:
* pH
* Partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO₂)
* Bicarbonate (HCO₃)
* Partial pressure of oxygen (PaO₂)
* Oxygen saturation (SaO₂)

* A thoracentesis is a procedure to remove fluid
or air from the pleural cavity via insertion of a
needle into a patient's posterior chest (thorax).

* Pulmonary angiography is a medical
fluoroscopic procedure used to visualize the
pulmonary arteries and much less frequently,
the pulmonary veins. It is a minimally invasive
procedure performed most frequently by an
interventional radiologist or interventional
cardiologist to visualise the arteries of the
lungs
