This book offers a thorough review of recent advancements in paediatric pulmonary function testing and their clinical applications in common respiratory disorders. The first section focuses on lung function tests for infants and toddlers, who cannot cooperate with standard procedures. It details methodologies, provides normal values, and offers guidance on data interpretation. The second section addresses classic adult-type pulmonary function tests for semi-cooperative or cooperative older children, discussing age-related technical issues and limitations. The third section explores tests that assess the respiratory system beyond standard measurements, including respiratory muscle function, work of breathing, diffusing capacity, and inflammatory markers in exhaled air and breath condensate. The fourth section highlights the clinical utility of pulmonary function tests in diagnosing and managing prevalent paediatric respiratory disorders like asthma, cystic fibrosis, and neuromuscular disorders, as well as in post-transplant follow-up care. This unique aspect sets it apart from previous literature in paediatric lung function testing. Finally, the book evaluates the future role of pulmonary function testing in neonatal and paediatric intensive care. It serves as a practical resource for paediatric and adult pulmonologists, intensivists, general paediatricians, and those in training, along with pulmonary function technicians and r. …
