Pulmonary Function Testing in Animals
2018Nanoparticles possess a number of useful properties that make them useful for a variety of industrial and commercial applications. The small size of nanoparticles means that they are respirable and can penetrate deep into the lung when inhaled. Because of this, there is interest in assessing possible toxic effects of nanoparticles on the respiratory ...

Indications for Pulmonary Function Testing
Respiration, 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 surgery.

Pulmonary Function Testing in Children
Clinics in Chest Medicine, 1987This article concentrates on those factors that are particularly important for performing and interpreting lung function tests in children. Specifically, technical considerations such as equipment, personnel, test performance, and bronchoprovocation procedures are discussed.

Obesity and pulmonary function testing
Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, 2005Obese 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.

PULMONARY FUNCTION TESTS AT WORK
Clinics in Chest Medicine, 2001Occupational exposures remain an important cause of lung disease. A number of PFTs are used in the occupational setting, including spirometry, PEF recordings, methacholine challenge testing, lung volume, and DL(CO). These tests are used in a number of situations, including the clinical evaluation and management of patients with possible occupational ...

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 ...

Screening Tests of Pulmonary Function
New England Journal of Medicine, 1970SCREENING tests of pulmonary function are procedures that can separate normal from abnormal lungs in only a few minutes of the patient's time, with little or no discomfort to him. Ideally, the tests should use inexpensive and portable apparatus whose operation requires little or no technical training; they should be free from error, should pinpoint the

Function tests in pulmonary surgery
The American Journal of Surgery, 1955Abstract In the preoperative evaluation of pulmonary function the results of clinical investigations are decisive for the question of operability and for the choice of intervention. Great importance is attached to the anamnesis. All available roentgenograms must be carefully studied, the anatomic extent of the disease noted and diaphragmatic and ...

PULMONARY FUNCTION TESTS IN PREOPERATIVE PULMONARY EVALUATION
Clinics in Chest Medicine, 2001Pulmonary function testing (PFT) is used extensively by pulmonary specialists to address two common clinical questions: (1) What is the risk of a postoperative pulmonary complication in an individual with lung disease? and (2) Will the patient be able to tolerate lung resection surgery?
