Chronic cough: bronchoscopy or pulmonary function testing?
American Review of Respiratory Disease, 1982To determine how frequently bronchoscopic examination and pulmonary function testing are useful in establishing a diagnosis in patients with chronic cough as an isolated clinical symptom, we reviewed the records of all patients referred to pulmonary ...

Indications for pulmonary function testing.
Respiration; international review of thoracic diseases, 1978Pulmonary function testing is needed to determine the pathophysiology present in the patient with cardiopulmonary disease. Blood gases and pH should be obtained during emergency situations and during cranial, thoracic, and extensive cervical or abdominal

Infant pulmonary function testing
Current Opinion in Pediatrics, 2003Pulmonary function tests in infants have been used for many years, but they have been largely relegated to specialized centers and research purposes. More recently, development of commercial equipment and newer techniques has allowed for more broad use and application of these tests.

The lung has two basic simultaneous respiratory functions: the oxygenation of the incoming desaturated venous blood, and the removal of carbon dioxide and consequently of protons (H+) from this incoming blood. To perform this task adequately, both the ventilatory and the circulatory lung systems must be adapted one to another so that the ratio of the ...

Pulmonary Function Testing in Horses
Veterinary Clinics of North America: Large Animal Practice, 1979Pulmonary function tests in horses are in the early stages of development and there will be a limit in the range of tests available since those requiring patient cooperation cannot be conducted in animals. Some tests such as blood gas analysis, A-aDo2 and delta Ppl measurements could presently be used to a greater extent under field conditions.

Pulmonary function tests provide quantitative assessment of physiological properties in respiratory system including the lungs and chest wall. Spirometry is the first step as a screening and diagnostic test to investigate the existence and severity of obstructive or restrictive ventilatory disorders. Second is the measurement of lung volumes.

Preoperative Pulmonary Function Testing
JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1976PREOPERATIVE pulmonary function testing is easy to perform. Setups for spirometry are cheap and simple, and automated systems are available to compute all varieties of measurement. Today's problems for the clinician are "What does preoperative pulmonary function testing mean?" and "Who needs these studies?" The patient with bronchogenic carcinoma often

Pulmonary function tests (PFTs) refer to a panel of tests including spirometry, measurement of lung volumes, and diffusion capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO). We first review the basic types of pulmonary disorders (obstructive versus restrictive), and then discuss the main types of PFTs.

In recent years the number of pulmonary functional tests has increased considerably. For instance, there are no fewer than nine methods to measure the pulmonary diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (1). However, the clinical usefulness of these tests is quite variable. This chapter shall therefore present the tests in widest use and of greatest value
