Lung function testing has evolved over the years from a tool purely
used for research and is now a commonly utilised form of clinical
investigation. This new book is clear, concise and easy to read,
providing both the essential scientific information as well as
focusing on the practical aspects of lung function testing. The
book is designed so that different chapters can be read as
stand-alone sections, but cross-referencing to the other chapters
completes the picture for the interested reader. The book begins
with an outline of lung structure and anatomy, and then proceeds to
basic functional considerations before discussing the tests
themselves. Particular attention is given to spirometry and lung
volume measurements. The text covers the functional assessment of
exercise capacity, respiratory muscle strength and concludes with
preoperative evaluation and recommendations. The text emphasises
practical problems, including controversies associated with lung
function testing. Boxes emphasise important topics throughout the
text. Highlighted questions can be used for short tutorials or
problem-based learning
