Description
Lung Function Testing in the 21st Century covers the complete aspects of lung function testing, ranging from standardized to newly introduced (IOS, FOT) methods. It provides an updated overview of advances in respiratory engineering, and advice on which lung function tests are appropriate for which purpose. The author discusses non-standardized lung function testing, methods, clinical tests, diagnosis and a future perspective. Lung function measurement devices and protocols are also covered. This book covers multidisciplinary domains, bringing new technology ideas from mathematics, physics, biology and engineering into the field of respiratory engineering. The author has 15 years of experience of working at the forefront of emerging technology in this field, and has also included expertise from other worldwide specialists in bringing together this book. The book brings together all of the disparate information on lung function testing technology currently contained in journal articles in one place, and gives a review to help readers build on the work that has already been done
