Clinics in Chest Medicine, 1988
The clinical significance of pulmonary function tests (including blood gas analysis) lies in their sensitivity for detecting PCP. PCP has most consistently been found to cause abnormalities in the DLCO and the exercise arterial blood gas; both are highly sensitive for the presence of Pneumocystis infection.

Introduction to Pulmonary Function
Otolaryngologic Clinics of North America, 2008Asthma is a dynamic and complex inflammatory disease. Recent research suggests that it is a manifestation of a systemic disorder of the entire respiratory system including both upper and lower airways. The diagnosis of asthma can be made based on clinical history, physical findings, and pulmonary function tests such as spirometry.

Pulmonary function measurements
The American Journal of Surgery, 1954Abstract 1. 1. An accurate evaluation of the degree of pulmonary function impairment may be made from the following physiologic tests: (1) ventilation measurements from spirogram tracings (total vital capacity, three-second vital capacity, maximal breathing capacity and the shape of the exhalation curve following a deep breath); (2) the degree of

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1968
All physicians, regardless of their types of practice, are seeing more patients with various forms of chronic lung disease. Pulmonary symptoms may be the primary complaint, or they may become apparent during another illness or after an operation. Pulmonary-function tests offer the means of elucidating the type of physiological impairment present ...

Scoliosis and Pulmonary Function
Spine, 1984The effect on pulmonary function of all three dimensions of the scoliotic deformity was analyzed with computer tomography in 33 patients with thoracic idiopathic scoliosis. Both static (total lung capacity [TLC], vital capacity [VC] and functional residual capacity [FRC] ) and dynamic volumes (forced expiratory volumes in one second [FEV-1]) were ...

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1969
To the Editor:— The article "Pulmonary-Function Tests" which appeared inThe Journal( 206 :2302, 1968) contains the following statement: "The level of arterial Pco 2 is governed solely by the alveolar ventilation. Elevated Pco 2 means alveolar hypoventilation, and reduced Pco 2 , alveolar hyperventilation." Such a statement ignores the ventilation to ...

Surgical Clinics of North America, 1974
A unit for monitoring ventilation, ventilational mechanics, gas distribution, gas diffusion, and pulmonary capillary perfusion of the lungs, suitable for bedside investigation of these functions in very ill patients, is described. This study will hopefully have the same impact on descriptive clinical pathophysiology and treatment of pulmonary disease ...

Pediatric Clinics of North America, 1979
Common questions about lung function tests, including why perform these tests, when are they helpful, who can be tested, and which tests are most useful, are answered for the pediatrician. Tests presently used in clinical pulmonary laboratories are described.
