Arterial blood gas test
An arterial-blood gas (ABG) test measures the amounts of arterial gases, such as oxygen and carbon dioxide.

Asthma
Asthma is a common long-term inflammatory disease of the airways of the lungs.

Atelectasis
Atelectasis is the collapse or closure of a lung resulting in reduced or absent gas exchange.

Boyle's law
Boyle's law (sometimes referred to as the Boyle–Mariotte law, or Mariotte's law) is an experimental gas law that describes how the pressure of a gas tends to increase as the volume of the container decreases.

Bronchospasm
Bronchospasm or a bronchial spasm is a sudden constriction of the muscles in the walls of the bronchioles.

Carbon monoxide
Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas that is slightly less dense than air.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a type of obstructive lung disease characterized by long-term breathing problems and poor airflow.

Functional residual capacity
Functional Residual Capacity (FRC) is the volume of air present in the lungs at the end of passive expiration.

Hospital-acquired infection
A hospital-acquired infection (HAI), also known as a nosocomial infection, is an infection that is acquired in a hospital or other health care facility.

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a type of chronic lung disease characterized by a progressive and irreversible decline in lung function.

Lung volumes
Lung volumes and lung capacities refer to the volume of air associated with different phases of the respiratory cycle.
New!!: Pulmonary function testing and Lung volumes · See more »
Neuromuscular junction
A neuromuscular junction (or myoneural junction) is a chemical synapse formed by the contact between a motor neuron and a muscle fiber.

Obstructive lung disease
Obstructive lung disease is a category of respiratory disease characterized by airway obstruction.
New!!: Pulmonary function testing and Obstructive lung disease · See more »
Physician
A physician, medical practitioner, medical doctor, or simply doctor is a professional who practises medicine, which is concerned with promoting, maintaining, or restoring health through the study, diagnosis, and treatment of disease, injury, and other physical and mental impairments.

Pneumothorax
A pneumothorax is an abnormal collection of air in the pleural space between the lung and the chest wall.

Respiratory system
The respiratory system (also respiratory apparatus, ventilatory system) is a biological system consisting of specific organs and structures used for gas exchange in animals and plants.
New!!: Pulmonary function testing and Respiratory system · See more »
Restrictive lung disease
Restrictive lung diseases (or restrictive ventilatory defects) are a category of extrapulmonary, pleural, or parenchymal respiratory diseases that restrict lung expansion, resulting in a decreased lung volume, an increased work of breathing, and inadequate ventilation and/or oxygenation.

Shortness of breath
Shortness of breath, also known as dyspnea, is the feeling that one cannot breathe well enough.

Spirometer
A spirometer is an apparatus for measuring the volume of air inspired and expired by the lungs.

Syncope (medicine)
Syncope, also known as fainting, is a loss of consciousness and muscle strength characterized by a fast onset, short duration, and spontaneous recovery.
New!!: Pulmonary function testing and Syncope (medicine) · See more »
Tidal volume
Tidal volume (symbol VT or TV) is the lung volume representing the normal volume of air displaced between normal inhalation and exhalation when extra effort is not applied.
New!!: Pulmonary function testing and Tidal volume · See more »
Vital capacity
Vital capacity (VC) is the maximum amount of air a person can expel from the lungs after a maximum inhalation.
