‘Respirology’ review series on lung function testing

This video introduces a review series on current ways of lung function testing, how they are used in general practice and the clinic and what their potential could be for the future. The review series is published in the international peer-reviewed journal 'Respirology' and the series editors have brought together world leaders in respiratory physiology and pulmonary medicine to provide an overview of the role of available lung function tests in the diagnosis and management of specific lung diseases and conditions with respiratory problems. To illustrate what the various tests can tell us about specific diseases, case reports linked to many of the reviews are published the related 'Respirology Case Reports' journal during 2014 and 2015. For additional details on the Review Series, read the Review Series Prologue by Graham L. Hall and Charles G. Irvin (http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/resp.12331/abstract). The first publication of the Review Series and the illustrative case report are already available online.
