Elevated rv and rv tlc ratio suggest air trapping with obstructive lung disease.
Rv tlc ratio in restrictive lung disease. Fev1 fvc ratio 75 was observed in 34 while rv tlc ratio 35 was observed in 55 of subjects. Asthma tlc restrictive impairment occurred in 8 of asthmatics without increase in frc or rv miller12 interstitial lung disease tlc loss of tlc may be greater than loss of vc in interstitial lung disease patients boros13 radiation and chemotherapy tlc chemo radiation exacerbates post treatment decrease in tlc and d lco gopal14. 80 120 of predicted in obstructive disease. This ratio is decreased in obstructive lung disorders and normal in restrictive lung disorders.
Obstructive lung diseases particularly emphysema result in an increase in the rv and rv to tlc ratio. While all spirometry values improved significantly following bronchodilator administration total lung capacity p 0 78 and residual volume p 0 18 did not improve after. In severe emphysema particularly bullous emphysema the tlc can show a marked increase. A significant reversibility was observed in 24 based on ats criteria.
In a child a normal ratio is 85 or greater. In an adult a normal fev1 fvc ratio is 70 to 80. Restrictive lung diseases are characterized by reduced lung volumes either because of an alteration in lung parenchyma or because of a disease of the pleura chest wall or neuromuscular apparatus. Decreased in emppyhysema normal in chronic bronchitis normal or increased in asthma in restrictive disease.
Restrictive lung diseases exhibit reduced tlc percentage with relative preservation of the rv tlc percentage in fibrosis a reduced inspiratory capacity and expiratory reserve volume erv in neuromuscular disease and severe reduction of the erv in. Measurements of expiratory flow tend to be preserved including the fev 1 fvc and fef25 75. The defining factor for restrictive lung disease is the reduction in the tlc. The fev1 fvc ratio can also be used to figure out the severity of obstructive lung disease.
In severe emphysema the tlc percentage can exceed 150 with the rv impinging on the fvc. If available compare tlc as measured by plethysmography with that measured by gas dilution techniques such as. 35 or predicted rv tlc 35 or predicted indicates air trapping step 6.
