➡️ Question
A pre and post-bronchodilator test was ordered on a 48-year-old female patient. The forced expiratory measurement that was obtained after the bronchodilator shows an increase in the patient’s FEV1 from 60% to 80% of the predicted value. This suggests which of the following?
A. Fixed airway obstruction
B. Reversible airway obstruction
C. Normal diffusion capacity
D. Restrictive process

The information given in the question suggests that the patient’s airway obstruction was somewhat relieved after the bronchodilator was given. We know this because their FEV1 increased from 60% to 80% of the predicted value. Was the increase enough to classify it as a reversible obstruction? Remember: If the patient's pre-to-post values increase by at least 12%, you know that the treatment was effective. So, in this case, there was a 20% increase, which means that; yes, the improvement was enough to interpret the patient’s condition as a reversible airway obstruction.
