Pulmonary-Function Testing

New England Journal of Medicine, 1994
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.

Pulmonary function tests

The Indian Journal of Pediatrics, 1996
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 Tests

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.

Pulmonary Function Tests

1999
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.

Obesity and pulmonary function testing

Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, 2005
Obese patients frequently present with respiratory symptoms, including dyspnea, explained in part by the fact that obese individuals tend to breathe rapidly and shallowly as an adaptation to the increase in total respiratory work and resistance caused by obesity.
