Lung function assessment is the central pillar of modern
respiratory diagnosis, providing invaluable information to assist
in clinical decision making and management
strategies.Interpreting Lung Function Tests: A Step-by Step
Guide is a practical "how-to" training manual,
which provides the reader with the necessary skills to interpret
lung function test results, and to write a concise and informative
report on the outcome.

Interpreting Lung Function Tests: A Step-by Step
Guide

* provides unique guidance on the reporting of pulmonary function
tests, including illustrative cases and sample reports.

* utilizes the many references available on interpretation of
lung function and provides a teaching/reference tool for report
writing of lung function results routinely performed in clinical
practice.

* provides the reader with the skill to interpret and write a
concise, yet informative report

* provides examples of results and written reports (with
commentary where necessary as further explanation).

* focuses primarily on tests performed as part of routine
clinical testing: spirometry, static lung volumes, gas transfer,
bronchial provocation tests, and maximal respiratory
pressures.

Interpreting Lung Function Tests: A Step-by Step Guideis
a superb new resource to educate medical students, junior doctors,
family physicians, as well as advanced trainee physicians
specializing in respiratory medicine, respiratory scientists, and
respiratory physicians

Professor Bruce Thompson is Head of the Physiology Service within the Department of Allergy, Immunology and Respiratory Medicine, Alfred Hospital and Monash University. He is the head of one of the largest pulmonary function laboratories in Australia and combines a very active research program with his current role as co-chair of the Global Lung Initiative for the measurement of gas transfer factor. His contribution to respiratory research and laboratory measurement was recognised in 2011 when he was awarded the ANZSRS research medal (Fellowship). Ms Brigitte Borg is a Certified Respiratory Function Scientist. Brigitte is the Deputy Head of the Physiology Service, Allergy, Immunology and Respiratory Medicine at The Alfred, Melbourne. She is responsible for the day-to-day management of a busy lung function laboratory that encompasses clinical, research and education in its core activities. Brigitte has actively participated in the training of advance trainees in lung function interpretation over many years and has been on the faculty of the American Thoracic Society's Post Graduate Course for The Interpretation of Lung Function since 2008. Brigitte's research interests are twofold: quality of measurement of lung function and oxygen therapy. Professor Robyn O'Hehir FRACP, PhD, FRCP, FRCPath is Professor and Director of the Department of Allergy, Immunology and Respiratory Medicine, Alfred Hospital and Monash University.
