Pulmonary-function tests provide objective, quantifiable measures of lung function. They are used to evaluate and monitor diseases that affect heart and lung function, to monitor the effects of environmental, occupational, and drug exposures, to assess risks of surgery, and to assist in evaluations performed before employment or for insurance purposes.

The Pulmonary Function Laboratory
Clinics in Chest Medicine, 1989The pulmonary function laboratory is essential for evaluating patients with respiratory complaints and disorders. Lung function tests are widely used to detect evidence of disease, quantitate severity of dysfunction, elucidate pathophysiologic mechanisms, and assess response to therapy.

Spirometry is indicated in all the children with clinical diagnosis of asthma, chronic/recurrent cough or wheeze, exercise induced cough or breathlessness and with recurrent respiratory manifestations. Mid expiratory How 25-75% (MEF 25-75) is an important diagnostic parameters in children due to its effort independence, high sensitivity in ...

Pulmonary function in microgravity
Acta Astronautica, 1988We report the successful collection of a large quantity of human resting pulmonary function data on the SLS-1 mission. Preliminary analysis suggests that cardiac stroke volumes are high on orbit, and that an adaptive reduction takes at least several days, and in fact may still be in progress after 9 days on orbit.

IN clinical medicine before World War II, pulmonary-function studies, if done at all, were limited to measuring the vital capacity and possibly the maximal breathing capacity.

Structural changes in the lungs elicit changes in pulmonary function. In most diffuse lung diseases, respiratory symptoms generally develop insidiously because of alterations of the elastic and/or the flow-resistive properties of the lungs. These symptoms occur concurrently with disturbances of gas exchange.

Pulmonary Function in Scleroderma
Arthritis & Rheumatism, 1977AbstractPulmonary function tests were performed in 45 patients with scleroderma. Thirteen patients (29%) were found to have restrictive disease, 12 patients (27%) were found to have obstructive disease, and 19 patients (42%) had small airway disease (SAD).

Pulmonary function in alcoholics
The American Journal of Medicine, 1974Abstract Twenty-three chronic alcoholics were investigated by means of pulmonary function studies. All 23 patients had respiratory symptoms. Clinically, 21 (91 per cent) of 23 patients were diagnosed as having chronic bronchitis, and 14 patients (60 per cent) had dyspnea.

A 70-year-old obese patient (BMI 63.2 kg/mβ) presents with dyspnea. Pulmonary function tests show a restrictive pattern with reduced forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV₁), total lung capacity (TLC), and functional residual capacity (FRC), but a normal FEV₁/FVC ratio and residual volume (RV).

The advantages and limitations of pulmonary function tests are described. A short description of the methods of investigation of the processes involved in respiration is given, viz., the investigation of ventilation, diffusion, pulmonary capillary perfusion and the mechanics of breathing.
