Lung function testing has evolved over the years from a tool purely used for research and is now a commonly utilised form of clinical investigation. This new book is clear, concise and easy to read, providing both the essential scientific information as well as focusing on the practical aspects of lung function testing. The book is designed so that different chapters can be read as stand-alone sections, but cross-referencing to the other chapters completes the picture for the interested reader. The book begins with an outline of lung structure and anatomy, and then proceeds to basic functional considerations before discussing the tests themselves. Particular attention is given to spirometry and lung volume measurements. The text covers the functional assessment of exercise capacity, respiratory muscle strength and concludes with preoperative evaluation and recommendations. The text emphasises practical problems, including controversies associated with lung function testing. Boxes emphasise important topics throughout the text. Highlighted questions can be used for short tutorials or problem-based learning Review: Lung Function Test MADe Easy - Lung Function Tests made Easy: Robert J.

Clear, thorough yet concise and excellent value for money
This book is excellent and begins with a clear introduction covering the basic principles about the anatomy, structure and physiology of the respiratory system and key equations pitched at the right level. There is a logical progression as one reads through the book between chapters but each chapter can indeed be read alone as they are cross referenced nicely. As a clinician, I feel that the clear schematic charts summarising the diagnosis of common respiratory conditions are very useful. The chapters spirometry and the pitfalls that may ensue are written with clarity with a clear description on specialised respiratory investigations and the scientific principles underpinning their use and interpretation. The additional chapter on preoperative respiratory evaluation and potential complications is again very useful. The section on arterial blood gases provides a logical approach to their interpretation. I will continue to use this approach to teach students and would recommend they read this section and also try and do the questions within the book. Overall, the text was unambiguous and I will definitely recommend this book to medical students, junior doctors, technicians and other allied health care professionals as it represents excellent quality with value for money

Excellent and comprehensive book
The book "lung function tests made easy" is well written, addressing basics of anatomy, pathophysiology and practical tools for lung function testing. It is suitable for the beginner and the more advanced alike. The use of multiple pictures and diagrams and the style of the "made easy" books assists the understanding of complicated matters. It is very good value for money and I am happily referring to it in everyday clinical use and teaching sessions with medical students. I would buy definitely buy it again !
