Effects of remote limb ischemic preconditioning on pulmonary function tests and maximal oxygen uptake
Introduction: Ischemic preconditioning (IPC) protects skeletal muscles from ischemia-reperfusion injury and improves physical exercise performance. The purpose of the present study was to determine whether application of remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) of upper limbs would affect the pulmonary function tests and the maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max). Methods: Twenty healthy trained...
متن کاملpulmonary function tests and work-related respiratory and allergic
bakers are frequently exposed to various irritant chemicals during work which can induce respiratory problems. in this study, pulmonary function tests and self-reported respiratory and allergic symptoms in bakers were compared with matched control subjects. the frequency of respiratory and allergic symptoms was evaluated in a sample of 58 iranian bakers and 58 control subjects using a questionn...
متن کاملPulmonary Function Tests:
Indications for pulmonary function tests (PFTs) have widened substantially, ranging from screening smokers for early lung disease to determining the diagnosis and prognosis of pulmonary conditions. Current indications also include screening for drug-induced lung toxicity and preoperative screening for lung resection surgery. In the workup of respiratory symptoms, such as dyspnea, cough, and whe...
متن کاملPulmonary Function Tests
Pulmonary function tests are valuable investigations in the management of patients with suspected or previously diagnosed respiratory disease. They aid diagnosis, help monitor response to treatment and can guide decisions regarding further treatment and intervention. The interpretation of pulmonary functions tests requires knowledge of respiratory physiology. In this review we describe investig...
متن کاملPulmonary Function Tests (PFT)
Pulmonary function tests (PFT) are a battery of tests that measure lung function and aid in the management of patients with respiratory disease. They are performed using standardized equipment and can be used for diagnosis, prognostication, management and follow-up of patients with pulmonary pathology. Although PFT may not identify the exact pathology, it broadly classifies respiratory disorder...
