    A new computer program simplifies pulmonary function testing (PFT) interpretation using programmable calculators. This tool enhances diagnostic accuracy and efficiency in pulmonary function laboratories.

    Area of Science:

    • Pulmonary Medicine
    • Medical Informatics
    • Biomedical Engineering

    Background:

    • Standard pulmonary function tests (PFTs) are crucial for diagnosing respiratory diseases.
    • Manual calculation and interpretation of PFTs can be time-consuming and prone to errors.
    • There is a need for efficient and accurate data processing systems in pulmonary function laboratories.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a computer program for automated calculation and interpretation of standard PFTs.
    • To enhance the diagnostic capabilities of pulmonary function laboratories.
    • To improve the efficiency and accuracy of PFT data analysis.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a computer program on a programmable calculator system.
    • The program computes predicted and measured values for lung volumes, airways resistance, and diffusing capacity.
