Pulmonary function testing in small laboratory mammals.
The lung is the primary organ likely to be exposed by inhalation studies and, therefore, measurement of changes in lung function are of particular interest to the pulmonary physiologist and toxicologist. Tests of pulmonary function have been developed which can be used with small animals to measure spirometry (lung volumes), mechanics, distribution of ventilation, gas exchange or control of ven...
متن کاملAdvances in pulmonary laboratory testing.
This review examines emerging technologies that are of potential use in the routine clinical pulmonary laboratory. These technologies include the following: the measurement of exercise tidal flow-volume (FV) loops plotted within the maximal FV envelope for assessment of ventilatory constraint during exercise; the use of negative expiratory pressures to asses expiratory flow limitation in variou...
متن کاملSpirometric evaluation of pulmonary function in Yazd’s dental laboratory workers in 1398
abstract Introduction: Spirometry is a common device screening in occupational pulmonary disease. Dental laboratory workers usually are exposed to vapor, toxic gases, dust, metallic alloys, acrylics, and stones. Aim of This study was a Spirometric evaluation of the pulmonary function of Yazd’s dental laboratory workers. Method and materials: in this cross-sectional study 37 Yazd’dental tech...
متن کاملA spirometry-based algorithm to direct lung function testing in the pulmonary function laboratory.
OBJECTIVE To design a spirometry-based algorithm to predict pulmonary restrictive impairment and reduce the number of patients undergoing unnecessary lung volume testing. DESIGN Two prospective studies of 259 consecutive patients and 265 consecutive patients used to derive and validate the algorithm, respectively. SETTING A pulmonary function laboratory of a tertiary care hospital. PATIEN...
متن کاملPulmonary Function Testing
One of the most useful instruments for office practice is the spirometer. Today, the spirometer must find its rightful place alongside the sphygmomanometer, the electrocardiograph, and the ophthalmoscope. Abnormal spirometry is an indicator of increased risk for premature death from all causes. This indication has been known since the time of its invention in 1846 by John Hutchinson, a surgeon....
