Respiratory problems are the most common cause of acute admission
to hospital. A variety of diagnostic investigations are required,
both for acute and clinic assessment. Making Sense of Lung Function
Tests, Second Edition familiarises both trainees and more
experienced clinicians with the interpretation of a range of
respiratory parameters. It places lung function in a clinical
context using real-life examples and provides invaluable hands-on
guidance. For this second edition Consultant Respiratory Physician
Jonathan Dakin and Consultant Anaesthetist Elena Kourteli are
joined by Mark Mottershaw, Chief Respiratory Physiologist from
Queen Alexandra Hospital, Portsmouth, all contributing a broad
range of expertise and perspectives. Together they have updated the
book throughout and added new chapters including an algorithm for
interpretation of pulmonary function tests, exhaled nitric oxide
(FENO) and cardiopulmonary exercise testing. The text offers a
clear explanation of the concepts which students find difficult,
including: The basis of obstructive and restrictive defects Pattern
recognition of the flow volume loop Differences between TLCO and
KCO Assessment of oxygenation using PO2 and SO2 The basis of Type 1
and type 2 respiratory failure Distinguishing respiratory and
metabolic acidosis The relationship between sleep and respiratory
failure The information is presented in an accessible way, suitable
for those seeking a basic grounding in spirometry or blood gases,
but also sufficiently comprehensive for readers completing
specialist training in general or respiratory medicine.
