Pulmonary Function Testing

By Reuben M. Cherniack and Reuben M. Cherniack MD

Revised and updated, this second edition presents the information necessary to understand both normal pulmonary function and disturbances that occur in the disease. The text begins with a quick reference to the many terms, symbols and abbreviations used in pulmonary physiology and function testing, then reviews basic considerations such as mechanics of breathing and cardiorespiratory adaptation to exercise. Other sections discuss assessment and interpretation of pulmonary function tests.
