Tests of Respiratory Muscle Function

Clinics in Chest Medicine, 1988
Respiratory muscle strength and endurance should be assessed when dyspnea, respiratory failure, or poor performance on routine pulmonary function tests are unexplained. Respiratory muscle strength can be measured non-invasively from maximal mouth pressures, but measurement of transdiaphragmatic pressure refines the assessment.

SIMPLE BEDSIDE TEST OF RESPIRATORY FUNCTION

Journal of the American Medical Association, 1959
The ability of a patient to blow out a match at a distance of 6 in. (15 cm.) was found to be a useful clinical test if conditions were duly standardized. This ability was tested in 126 patients and shown to be well correlated with the results of two other tests of respiratory function, namely, the tests for one-second vital capacity and maximum ...

Respiratory Function Tests in Older People

Clinical Science, 1972
1. Forced expiratory volume in ml (FEV1·0) and forced vital capacity (FVC) were measured in a random sample of older people (215 men, 272 women) aged 62 years and upwards. 2. Multiple regression equations were calculated to predict these variables by using age and height.

Respiratory Function Tests

1988
At the present time it is possible to have a large number of pulmonary function tests performed in the lung physiology laboratory attatched to many large hospitals. In fact the clinician is sometimes overwhelmed by the amount of information presented. But what the physician wishes to know from these test results is simply what the clinical implications

Respiratory function tests

2010
Abstract Respiratory function tests are used in diagnosis, assessment, and prognosis and in monitoring the effects of treatment of various respiratory conditions. In the diagnosis of specific diseases, respiratory function tests—like functional tests of other organs—inevitably have limitations.

The role of respiratory function testing

Lung Cancer, 1993
Many patients with bronchogenic carcinoma have co-existent generalized lung disease and must be carefully assessed prior to having surgery or receiving radical radiotherapy, as these treatment modalities may result in significant further functional impairment.
