Function Tests

Lung function tests are commonly used to monitor lung disease in cystic fibrosis (CF). While practical, they cannot locate the exact origin of functional impairment. Contemporary magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques provide information on the location of disease but the need for contrast agents constrains their repeated application. We examined the correlation between functional MRI, performed without administration of contrast agent, and lung clearance index (LCI) from nitrogen multiple-breath washout (N2-MBW).40 children with CF (median (range) age 12.0 (6–18) years) and 12 healthy age-matched controls underwent functional and structural MRI and lung function tests on the same day. Functional MRI provided semiquantitative measures of perfusion (RQ) and ventilation (RFV) impairment as percentages of affected lung volume. Morphological MRI was evaluated using CF-specific scores. LCI measured global ventilation inhomogeneity.MRI detected functional impairment in CF:RFV19–38% andRQ16–35%.RFVandRQcorrelated strongly with LCI (r=0.76, p<0.0001 and r=0.85, p<0.0001, respectively), as did total morphology score (r=0.81, p<0.0001). All indices differed significantly between patients with CF and healthy controls (p<0.001).Noninvasive functional MRI is a promising method to detect and visualise perfusion and ventilation impairment in CF without the need for contrast agents.

Forced Breathing

Lung function tests are useful in assessing the functional status of Respiratory system in both in physiological as well as pathological conditions. These are based on the measurement of volume of air breathed in and out in quite breathing & forced breathing. Air in lungs is classified in to two divisions’ lung volumes & lung capacities. Lung Capacities are the combination of two or more lung volumes. The concept of Rakt Dhatu & Vayu is important in case of respiration because Charaka says that pure blood provides the person with strength, luster & happy life because vital breath follows blood. It represents mechanism of oxygenated & deoxygenated blood & its relation with functioning capacity of Lungs. So In this article attempt has been made to review concepts regarding functions of Rakt Dhatu & Vayu to Establish Lung Function Capacity.
