This book offers a comprehensive review of the lung function techniques that are available today in paediatric pulmonology. This field is still developing rapidly and equipment and software can tell us more than ever about respiratory physiology in health and disease in children with various lung disorders. Experts from around the globe have contributed and provide a state-of-the-art review of the techniques, with a special focus on the clinical applications and usefulness in diagnosing and treating children with chronic lung disease.
