open access: bronzeCanadian Anaesthetists’ Society Journal, 1956
Comroe and his associates in their very instructive and concise book on clinical physiology, entitled The Lung, said: “Tests of pulmonary function have proved of definite value both in diagnosis and in guiding therapy of patients with cardiopulmonary disorders.” I am sure that a larger utilization of these tests before operating on cardiopulmonary ...

Pulmonary function testing [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Opinion in Anaesthesiology, 2012
To review the recent literature related to pulmonary function testing and how it relates to the preoperative evaluation.There is increased interest in the field of pulmonary arterial hypertension. It is important to determine the clinical implications of this disease and determine whether preoperative therapy is indeed effective.

Pulmonary function tests [PDF]

open access: yesRheumatology, 2008
Systemic sclerosis-associated interstitial lung disease (SSc-ILD) is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in SSc patients. In autopsy studies, up to 70% of the SSc patients show histological evidence of lung involvement. In surgical lung biopsies from SSc-ILD patients, a pattern of non-specific interstitial pneumonia is present in a majority ...

Pulmonary Function Tests

open access: yesMedicine, 2012
Pulmonary function tests (PFTs) include the measurement of velocity and volume of expiratory flow (spirometry), static volumes (lung volumes), diffusion of gases across the alveolar-capillary membrane (diffusion capacity), and respiratory muscle strength.

Pulmonary Function Testing

open access: yesDeckerMed Family Medicine, 2017
Intelligent management of pulmonary disease requires a fundamental understanding of the complex interrelationships between multiple elements that interact to maintain homeostasis in the respiratory system. This chapter discusses the physiologic basis for pulmonary function testing and the use of these tests to diagnose disease, quantitate functional ...
