Principles of Exercise Testing & Interpretation: Including Pathophysiology and Clinical Applications

by Karlman Wasserman (Editor), James E. Hansen, Darryl Y. Sue, William W., M.D. Stringer, Brian J., Ph.D. Whipp, Karlman Wasserman (Editor)
4th edition (November 2004)
Lippincott Williams & Wilkins Publishers; ISBN: 0781748763

Reviews
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.

Interpretation of Pulmonary Function Tests : A Practical Guide

by Robert E. Hyatt, Paul D. Scanlon, Masao Nakamura
(April 1997)
Lippincott Williams & Wilkins Publishers; ISBN: 0316262617

Book Description
This is a practical guide to the optimal clinical use of pulmonary function tests. The focus of the book is on the clinical utility of the most common tests--what the test measures, what the results mean, what kinds of abnormalities the test can detect, and what kinds of clinical questions the test can answer.Coverage includes tests for measuring airway obstruction, response to bronchodilators, diffusing capacity of the lungs, gas exchange, lung resistance and compliance, distribution of ventilation, and maximal respiratory pressures. Also included are chapters on preoperative pulmonary function testing and tests of exercise capacity. The authors discuss test patterns in various diseases, offer guidelines on when to test and what to order, and explain how to interpret test results. The concluding chapter presents illustrative cases.

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.
