Pulmonary Function Testing in Neuromuscular and Chest Wall Disorders
Clinics in Chest Medicine(2018)
摘要
Neuromuscular and chest wall disorders frequently compromise pulmonary function, and thorough respiratory evaluation often can assist in the diagnosis, risk assessment, and prognosis. Because many of these disorders can be progressive, serial assessments are necessary to best define a trajectory of impairment (or improvement with therapy). This article covers the major respiratory testing modalities available in the evaluation of these patients, emphasizing both the benefits and shortcomings of each approach. Most parameters are available in a standard pulmonary laboratory (flow rates, volumes, static pressures), although referral to a specialized center may be necessary to conclusively evaluate a given patient.
