PULMONARY FUNCTION TESTS AT WORK

Clinics in Chest Medicine, 2001
Occupational 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 ...

Pulmonary Function Testing in Horses

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Large Animal Practice, 1979
Pulmonary 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.

Pediatric Pulmonary Function Testing

Respiratory Care Clinics of North America, 2000
Pulmonary 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, 1970
SCREENING 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

Pediatric Pulmonary Function Testing

Clinics in Chest Medicine
Respiratory disease has a major impact on children's health, and objective measures of lung function are critical for the care and study of pediatric lung disease. Understanding lung development provides a conceptual framework for pulmonary function test (PFT) findings in children.

Pediatric Clinics of North America, 1984
The underutilization of pulmonary function tests is due to many factors, including a general misunderstanding of the physiology involved and confusion over who to test, when and how to test them, and what equipment to use. This article attempts to demystify pulmonary function tests and makes practical suggestions concerning equipment and techniques to ...
