Answer: increased
Flashcard 2: Which lung capacities (2) cannot be measured on spirometry?_____
Answer: Functional residual capacity, Total lung capacity
Flashcard 3: What type of upper airway obstruction is seen in vocal cord paralysis / dysfunction and laryngeal tumors?_____
Answer: Variable extrathoracic obstruction
