Q ; SETIOF ; ** Set device control var's D HOME^%ZIS Q ; TXT ; ;;In reporting structural changes to the lungs for the Regional ;;Office disability evaluations, the residuals are critical ;;(e.g., fibrosis, scarring, absent or resected parts, limitation ;;of expansion of the chest or excursion of diaphragm, presence ;;of bullet or missile in lung, granuloma). ;; ;;The Rating Schedule requires a pulmonary function test (PFT) in ;;certain lung diseases. In the majority of the cases, PFTs and a ;;thorough description of the veteran's exercise tolerance will be ;;sufficient for rating evaluation purposes. If such tests are, in ;;the examiner's opinion, not needed or medically contraindicated, ;;the examiner should explain why. Generally, PFTs need not be ;;repeated if recent studies (within the past six months) are of ;;record. If the examiner feels that an arterial blood gas test is ;;appropriate for diagnostic purposes, the results should be reported ;;in paragraph E below. ;;END
