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 ...

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.

Pediatric Pulmonary Function Testing
Respiratory Care Clinics of North America, 2000Pulmonary function testing is an essential component in the diagnosis and monitoring of the pediatric asthmatic. Very young children are capable of performing spirometry, lung Volumes, airway mechanics, and other testing. Obtaining valid test results in children is dependent on multiple factors including equipment selection, environment, technologist ...

Office Pulmonary Function Testing
Pediatric Clinics of North America, 1984The underutilization of pulmonary function tests is due to many factors, including a general misunderstanding of the physiology involved and confusion over who to test, when and how to test them, and what equipment to use. This article attempts to demystify pulmonary function tests and makes practical suggestions concerning equipment and techniques to ...

CLINICAL PULMONARY FUNCTION TESTING
Annals of Internal Medicine, 1959Excerpt Many clinicians—doctors who practice medicine and see patients at the bedside rather than those who spend most of their work day in laboratories—frequently think of pulmonary function testi...

Spirometry is a fundamental test in the diagnosis of lung disease in children, including preschool children. It measures the amount (volume) and speed (flow) of air that can be inhaled and exhaled by the patient. The FVC (forced vital capacity) maneuver is the total amount of air exhaled forcefully following a maximal inhalation, and it is usually the ...

Spirometry can confirm the presence and severity of obstructive and restrictive lung disease. An obstructive pattern is usually seen in COPD or asthma. The response to bronchodilator can assist to differentiate asthma from COPD and is useful to assess progression and response to therapy.

Pulmonary function test is an important method to check the respiratory diseases. The aims of pulmonary function test include: (a) judgment whether the respiratory symptoms such as dyspnea, cough and cyanosis are caused by respiratory diseases; (b) management and monitoring of severity, progression and therapeutic reaction of the established ...
