This book represents a comprehensive review of the most recent
developments in paediatric pulmonary function testing and their clinical
applications in common paediatric respiratory disorders.The first
section reviews the current lung function tests used in infants and
toddlers who are by nature unable to cooperate with most testing
procedures. It describes the methodologies, provides normal values where
available, and gives advice for data interpretation. The second section
deals with the classic adult-type pulmonary function tests and their
application in the semi-cooperative or cooperative older child.
Age-related technical issues and the limitations of these tests are
considered. Tests assessing the respiratory system beyond the usual
measurements of mechanics, lung volume, and bronchial responsiveness are
covered in the third section.
