Sample pulmonary function test report

Example of a single-page report for pre- and postbronchodilator spirometry testing. The linear graphic is divided in units of 1 SD, with the LLN shown at a z-score of –1.64. This simplified report is suitable for the medical record or referring physician, but the test interpreter should have access to the data and curves of all acceptable spirometry efforts.

SpO₂: oxygen saturation as measured by pulse oximetry; LLN: lower limit of normal; FVC: forced vital capacity; FEV₁: forced expiratory volume in one second; FET: forced expiratory time; GLI: Global Lung Function Initiative; ULN: upper limit of normal; VC: vital capacity; IC: inspiratory capacity; SD: standard deviation.
