Booknews, Inc.
A comprehensive, practical, and current volume (updating the third edition of 1999) for physiologists, physicians, and technicians interested in exercise physiology, pathophysiology, and testing. It describes how to evaluate patients with exercise intolerance using the physiology and pathophysiology of gas exchange as frames of reference. The final chapter consists of 79 case presentations, serving as an atlas of disorders that result in exercise limitation. Detailed practical information is provided in the appendices to assist readers in setting up a laboratory, in testing subjects, and in making necessary calculations.

Pulmonary Function Testing : A Practical Approach

by Jack Wanger
2nd Bk&Dk edition (April 1998)
Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins; ISBN: 0683178342

Reviews
Booknews, Inc. , November 1, 1996
A pulmonary testing text written for health care students, but also arranged as a reference for non-physicians performing the procedures. Each testing discussion begins with a history and pertinent background materials as well as physiology, instrumentation, technique, calculations, and the basic elements of interpretation and infection control. The test groups include spirometry, lung volumes, airway resistance, diffusing capacity, exercise, and bronchial provocation. A new innovation accompanying this edition is a computer assisted instruction disk containing interactive software featuring a pretest, instruction, self-assessment, and post-test. The nine appendices offer conversions, the mathematics of Boyle's Law, pediatric information, procedure manual instructions, and answers to the text questions. Includes some photographs, charts, graphs, and equations. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
