Diseases of the Respiratory System Interpretations of Tests of Function
Annual Review of Medicine, 1955The lungs are perfectly designed to fulfill their function of ensuring full oxygenation of the blood and they achieve this by possession of the follow ing properties: (a) The distensibility and elasticity of the lungs enables a large volume of gas to be moved in and out of the alveoli at a rapid rate and with minimal effort.

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.

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

Practical value and limitations of respiratory functions tests
Journal of Allergy, 1952Abstract 1.1. Ventilatory function tests under office conditions provide useful information on functional and structural changes of the patient with bronchial asthma. Of these, vital capacity, expressed as a function of time and maximum voluntary ventilating capacity are dynamic measurements which are superior to the static measurement of vital ...

The contribution of respiratory function tests to clinical diagnosis
European Respiratory Journal, 1993The purpose of this study was to investigate the amount of diagnostic information contained in a set of routine lung function studies and to attempt to determine which tests could be omitted without significant loss of discrimination. Cluster analysis was performed on a set of physiological and questionnaire data, collected prospectively in 1,542 male ...

The Relationship of Respiratory Function Tests to Respiratory Symptoms and Smoking in Older People
Respiration, 1972The FEV1•0% was calculated from FEV1 0 and FVC measured in a random sample of older people in Edinburgh. The proportion of persons with FEV1 0%

Respiratory Function Tests in Pulmonary Rehabilitation
1993Respiratory rehabilitation programs are widely employed in the management of patients with respiratory diseases. Nevertheless only few prospective, randomized or controlled studies have been performed on these programs and their clinical efficacy is still debated.

Interpretation of Preoperative Cardio-Respiratory Function Tests
Surgery (Oxford), 2003Abstract Preoperative cardio-respiratory tests aim to identify patients with increased perioperative risk, enabling clinicians to assign optimal preoperative treatment, anaesthetic management and intraoperative monitoring techniques, and assess the need for postoperative ‘high dependency’ or intensive care.

RESPIRATORY FUNCTION TESTS IN ABORIGINAL CHILDREN ON MORNINGTON ISLAND
Medical Journal of Australia, 1980Lung function tests using a dry spirometer were performed on school-age Aboriginal children living on Mornington Island in the Gulf of Carpentaria. Although the mean values were below Caucasian standards, they were within the appropriate normal range. There is no evidence in this study to suggest that there is a high prevalence of residual lung damage.

Variations in function and design: Testing symmorphosis in the respiratory system
Respiration Physiology, 1992We explore the question of whether and to what extent the large variation in energy requirements observed among mammals is related to variations in the design of the respiratory system, from the lung to the mitochondria in muscle cells. Resting metabolic rate is determined by body size (allometric variation).
