A member asked:

Results of a breathing test, i was at 60% of capacity but my pulse ox was 97 and my chest and lungs were clear. how could vitals be fine but at 60% ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Pulmonary Test: Because the breathing test is a lot more sensitive than the physical exam... It will point out a problem before it is manifested by physical exam or decrease in arterial oxygen saturation.
