Pulmonary Function Tests and Assessment for Lung Resection

Pulmonary function testing is a vital part of the assessment process for thoracic surgery. However, for other types of surgery there is no evidence that spirometry is more effective than history and examination in predicting postoperative pulmonary complications in patients with known chronic lung conditions. Furthermore specific spirometric values (e.g. the FEV1) cannot be taken as prohibitive...

Lung ultrasound for diagnosing pulmonary embolism

Pulmonary embolism (PE) remains a challenge for any physician because its clinical presentation covers a broad spectrum and is often similar to other cardio-pulmonary disorders. PE is still under-diagnosed due to it’s various/atypical clinical presentations, the dynamic of embolic processes and due to the fact that we have several diagnostic methods without 100% sensitivity and specificity.

Statins and Pulmonary Hypertension in Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease

Chronic obstructive lung disease (COPD) is a chronic multisystem disease with a considerable burden. One of its most common complications is pulmonary artery hypertension (PAH). It has been demonstrated that the development of PAH is correlated with decreased quality of life and survival. Different medications have been proposed for the treatment of PAH, among which one can name statins. Howeve...

Lung Function Tests in Clinical Diagnosis of Pulmonary Emphysema

Pulmonary function studies were performed in 25 patients with pulmonary emphysema, diagnosed by clinical, roentgenographic and functional examinations. Lung function tests included spirometry, flow-volume curve, body plethysmography and single breathholding carbon monoxide transfer test. The spirometric ratio of forced expiratory to forced inspiratory volumes for the first 0.5 second (FEV0.5 /F...

Association between Severity of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease and Lung Function Tests

BACKGROUND The burden of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is quite high and its prevalence is increasing. We aimed to evaluate the correlation of COPD severity according to the American Thoracic Society (ATS) criteria with spirometric measurements in patients admitted to the emergency ward. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this cross-sectional descriptive study, 50 randomly selected patie...
