Respiration is a unique topic among various subdisciplines of
physiology. Physiolo gists and clinicians are now able to
communicate quantitative functional properties of lung mechanics
and gas exchange in the language of the engineer, physicist and
mathematician. This is largely due to intensive and stimulating
work during the last decades of brilliant minds in a handful of
excellent schools in the international family of physiologists.
Among these founders of respiratory physiology are a number of
clinicians, and they have. taken significant ,part both in shaping
the theoretical knowledge to clinical applicability and developing
technical devices for diagnosis and therapy in pulmonology.
However, the theory behind the evaluation of measure ments, and
their interpretation in terms of clinical function tests, is so
confusingly complex that the ordinary physician, not specifically
trained in respiratory physiol ogy, finds himself unable to
critically apply these techniques. We, therefore, need descriptions
of respiratory physiology and of its clinical application presented
in the language of the clinician. And that is what this book is
meant to be. Written by an expert in electrical and biomedical
engineering, and by an expert in intensive care medicine, this text
constitutes an "operational manual" of clinical respiratory
physiology. It does not intend to be another textbook of basic
respiratory physiology or pathophysiology. This book not only
addresses practical clinicians, particularly those of intensive
care medicine, by describing the essentials of clinically relevant
respiratory knowledge.
