Clinical interpretation of spirometry results
Clinical
Aims : To present how to interpret spirometry tests; to be able (1) to differentiate between poor technique and technical errors and abnormal spirometry by evaluating patterns in flow volume and volume time curves; and (2) to recognise abnormal from normal spirometry when interpreting curves and results tables by comparing the measured values with the reference values.
