My father has COPD with Emphysema and recently had a PFT. He has a copy of the results but I have no idea what they mean in terms of the severity of his disease. If someone could help - thanks!
I wish they would just tell you - "hmm... this means on a scale of 1 - 10 your condition is a 6" or something like that.
His Total Lung Capacity is 2 liters. His FEV1 is 1.27. His lungs are hyper-inflated to 181%. His FVC is 60%. Oh - and his blood oxygen level is 81. (they now have him on oxygen 24/7)
