This video is absolutely wonderful. My question. On that video with the patient suffering an Apneic Episode, how did you get that to happen so fast? I know he just sat down, and relaxed, and then went to sleep, and the desaturation was realistic, but the way the SpO2% came up so quickly. That is why I had asked on that video if it was a simulator! 1: I LOOOOOOOOOOOOVE Medical computer simulators. 2: The way you had taken the video made it look like something you might see if you were using a Computer Simulator. IT WAS SUCH AN ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL VIDEO! What had confused me was just How the apnea onset was so sudden, and How the SpO2 had come up so quickly. During Sleep Apnea, or during ANY Desaturation whatsoever, unless, the machine is Inaccurately reading the SpO2% like if the Probe on the patient is Not On Propperly, You will NEVER see a return from a Desaturation that quickly. So, I am curious. Could you make a video demonstrating the oximetry Function on this Wonderful Spirometer? OH, and i have also noticed, that the pitch on the pulse oximeter did not have Variability of aconventional Pulse Oximeter's Pitch Variability Function that most Conventional Oximeters have such as the GE Datex Ohmeda TruSat 3500, or the Masimo Radica 7, or the Nellcor N-600x Pulse Oximeter. I really love that sleep Apnea video.

Kindly tell me how to transfer data from spirolab to PC or labtop.

How is it even possible to continuously blow out for 6 seconds if you’re supposed to breathe out at full capacity?

@noahjohnson8389 Жыл бұрын

There actually is no minimum exhaled time required. This video is outdated. Though the patient/ subject will need to keep blowing out until a plateau of flow change less than .025L/s occurs (sometimes this takes less than 6 seconds though can be much longer in individuals with respiratory disease). Some people find the test uncomfortable due to the level of exertion the test demands. But you have a store of air left in your lungs called the residual volume that will prevent your lungs from incurring any negative affect from the pressure the test places on your lungs/diaphragm.

@@noahjohnson8389 There may be no minimum time requirement, but very few adults will meet the criteria with a FET of less than 6 seconds. To answer the original question many people can easily blow out for greater than 6 seconds at maximal effort. It might be something that you want to do for fun, but it's easily achievable.

I wish the video would put a huge *red X* over the patient’s chest when he is doing incorrectly.

I don't care WHO it is, NO ONE can exhale for SIX seconds, especially AFTER being instructed to blow out forcibly to start...there's very little to no breath left to exhale! It's a torturous test and there should be a better and EASIER test to get desired results.
