Practical and clinically relevant, Hyatt's Interpretation of Pulmonary Function Testsprovides user-friendly coverage of all types of pulmonary function testing as it applies to a wide range of disease conditions. In this revised 5th Edition, Dr. Paul D. Scanlon expands upon the tradition of excellence begun by renowned pulmonary physiologist and father of the flow-volume curve, Dr. Robert E. Hyatt. A new two-color design, new and reorganized cases, and revised and expanded content keep you up to date with all that's new in the field. Provides a solid basis for administering and interpreting pulmonary function tests, making it an ideal resource for pulmonologists, fellows, and other healthcare practitioners who have a basic knowledge of pulmonary physiology. Offers valuable guidance for day-to-day clinical work, featuring chapters such as When to Test and What to Order and Approaches to Interpreting Pulmonary Function Tests. Features a new section on the interpretation of complex tests, including the nonspecific pattern, mixed obstruction with restriction, and the complex restrictive pattern. Includes more than 40 illustrative cases for self-testing and reinforcing the principles discussed in the text, as well as clear illustrations that demonstrate dozens of PFT patterns. Contains expert pearls regarding performance and interpretation of key tests. Table of Contents: Spirometry : dynamic lung volumes Static (absolute) lung volumes Diffusing capacity of the lungs Bronchodilators and bronchial challenge testing Arterial blood gases Other tests of lung mechanics : resistance and compliance Distribution of ventilation Maximal respiratory pressures Preoperative pulmonary function testing Simple tests of exercise capacity Patterns in various diseases When to test and what to order Approaches to interpreting pulmonary function tests Illustrative cases.
