About posts and bronchodilation
A test and a post are performed together to determine the response to
bronchodilating asthma medication.
After performing an FVC test or an FVL test, the patient is treated with a
bronchodilator. Approximately 10 to 20 minutes after the medication, when
the bronchodilator shows effect, the test is repeated as a post. The results of
the previous test and the post are then compared on the result screen and on
the test protocol. Posts can only be added to an existing test within 24 hours.
