Now in its Third Edition, this practical guide successfully meets the needs of pulmonary physicians, respiratory therapists, and nurses. Filled with tables, graphs, and illustrative cases, the book helps readers fully understand the clinical utility of pulmonary function tests.
This edition includes new information on the forced oscillation technique for measuring respiratory system resistance. Also included is a discussion of measurement of exhaled nitric oxide, which is becoming useful in the study of asthma. Other highlights include nearly fifty new illustrative cases and current American Thoracic Society/European Respiratory Society Task Force guidelines on standardization of pulmonary function testing and interpretation.
This is an excellent clinical guide for physicians, respiratory therapists, or nurses who perform spirometry. This third edition also details the forced oscillation technique, exhaled nitric oxide measurements, and the 2005 ATS/ERS guidelines on pulmonary function and interpretation. Not only is this an excellent resource in the clinical arena, but it would be an excellent book for residents and medical and respiratory students. Respiratory therapists who are preparing for the certified pulmonary function technologist credential will find this a valuable study guide as well
