Appendix C - Interpretations PFT Results
This appendix describes things you should look for when you review results from the Pulmonary Maneuvers. While
some things you look for only apply to a given test, many of them apply to all the tests.
Overall, the passing of time will affect all tests. If you run a test 15 times, it is likely that some of the results you get
early on will be very different from the results you get later. A very likely cause of this change in results is the
effect of anesthesia. Over time, the anesthesia becomes lighter, causing the test results to degrade.
