Pulmonary Function Testing & Interpretation is a comprehensive guide to lung function tests, such as spirometry, lung volume and diffusing capacity. Beginning with an introduction to the history of respiratory physiology, structure and function, and preparation for testing, individual chapters explain different types of test and the interpretation of result based on gender, age and body size.

Widely considered the "gold standard" for the teaching and learning of respiratory physiology, this fully updated Ninth Edition includes key points for each chapter and multiple-choice review questions and answers with full explanations. Available online via thePoint, animations help to clarify particularly difficult concepts and provide a visual component for use during instruction or review.

In recent years, the climate surrounding the development and implementation of pulmonary rehabilitation programs has continued to evolve. Legal changes regarding program funding, compensation, and staffing are more dependent on effective certified pulmonary rehabilitation programming. To help those programs develop and succeed, the American Association of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Rehabilitation (AACVPR) has updated the Guidelines for Pulmonary Rehabilitation Programs to address the credentialing requirements.
