• Nota di contenuto: How we came to have lungs and how our understanding of lung function has developed. -- Getting started. -- Development and functional anatomy of the respiratory system. -- Body size and anthropometric measurements. -- Numerical interpretation of physiological variables. -- Basic terminology and gas laws. -- Basic equipment and measurement techniques. -- Respiratory surveys : epidemiological methods. -- The application of analytical technique applied to expired air as a means of monitoring airway and lung function -- Anatomy and function of the thoracic cage and respiratory muscles. -- Lung volumes. -- Lung and chest wall elasticity. -- Forced ventilation volumes and flows. -- Theory and measurement of respiratory resistances. -- The control of airway function and the assessment of airway calibre -- Distribution, measurement and inter-relationship between ventilation and perfusion -- Transfer of gases into the blood of alveolar capillaries. -- Transfer factor for CO and NO. -- Oxygen : uptake and transport in the blood -- Carbon dioxide : gas exchange and acid base balance -- Control of respiration. -- Breathing sensation -- Breathing function in newborn babies -- Normal lung function from childhood to old age. -- Reference values for lung function in white (Caucasian) children and adults. -- Reference values for lung function in non-Caucasians. -- Physiology of exercise and effects of lung disease on performance. -- Exercise testing and interpretation, including reference values. -- Assessment of exercise limitation, disability and residual ability. -- Exercise in children -- Breathing during sleep and its investigation. -- Hypobaria, high altitude, aviation physiology and medicine -- Immersion in water, hyperbaria and hyperoxia including oxygen therapy. -- Effects of cold and heat on the lung. -- Strategies for assessment of lung function. -- Patterns of abnormal lung function in lung disease -- Lung function patterns in asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and lung fibrosis. -- Lung function in specific respiratory and systemic diseases: a compendium. -- Pulmonary rehabilitation. -- Lung function in relation to surgery, anaesthesia and intensive care.
• Sommario/riassunto: "The only text to cover lung function assessment from first principles including methodology, reference values and interpretation. Editors are amongst the world's leading authorities on lung function. Text completely re-written in a contemporary style: includes user-friendly equations and more diagrams. New material covering the latest advances in the treatment of lung function, including a stronger clinical and practical bias and more on new techniques and equipment"--
