Structural changes in the lungs elicit changes in pulmonary function. In most diffuse lung diseases, respiratory symptoms generally develop insidiously because of alterations of the elastic and/or the flow-resistive properties of the lungs. These symptoms occur concurrently with disturbances of gas exchange.

Indications for Pulmonary Function Testing
Respiration, 2009Pulmonary 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.

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 ...

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

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 ...

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.

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 ...

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 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 ...

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.
