Abstract:
Spirometry is the best and most widely used pulmonary function test. Equipment recommendations are made and performance information about different types of spirometers is given. Methods for obtaining clinically applicable spirometric results for use in making diagnostic and treatment decisions are presented. Selection and use of reference or "normal" values and interpretive strategies are discussed.
