reference intervals for special laboratory

Introduction

Pulmonary:

• forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1): > 80% of predicted
• forced vital capacity (FVC): > 80% of predicted
• FEV1/FVC: > 0.70

Hemodynamic:

• cardiac index: 2.5-4.2 L/min/m2
• left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF): > 55%
• pulmonary artery pressure
  • systolic: 20-25 mm Hg
  • diastolic: 5-10 mm Hg
  • mean: 9-16 mm Hg
• pulmonary capillary wedge pressure: 6-12 mm Hg
• right atrial pressure: 0-5 mm Hg
• right ventricular pressure
  • systolic: 20-25 mm Hg
  • diastolic: 0-5 mm Hg

More general terms

• reference interval (reference range, reference value)
