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.

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 ...

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.

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.

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.

Irish Journal of Medical Science, 1961
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.

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 ...

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 ...

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.

Obesity and Pulmonary Function Tests
The Indian Journal of Pediatrics, 2015Obesity in children and adolescents is rapidly increasing all over the world. Approximately one-fourth of children and adolescents are overweight or obese in the United States [1]. Though the studies from India are limited, the prevalence of overweight and obesity in children is reported to be between 5.6 and 24 % [2]. Obesity may adversely affect many
