    Area of Science:

    • Pulmonary Physiology
    • Respiratory Medicine

    Background:

    • Spirometry offers numerous measurements of expiratory effort, complicating pulmonary function assessment.
    • Non-specialists in pulmonary physiology struggle to select appropriate spirometric tests.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To provide guidelines for ventilatory testing.
    • To simplify the selection of spirometric tests for various applications.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of spirometric measurements and their applications.
    • Development of recommendations for test selection based on clinical or research needs.

    Main Results:

    • Identification of key spirometric tests for specific pulmonary function assessments.
    • A framework for choosing the most suitable tests is proposed.

    Conclusions:

    • Guidelines are offered to aid in selecting appropriate spirometry tests.
    • The study aims to improve the utility of spirometry for a wider audience.
