Good technique is essential when undertaking spirometry tests, and correct interpretation of the results is important to avoid making an incorrect diagnosis. Lung function results are reported as ...
Quality improvement, standardisation of spirometry testing, and interpretation of results are critically important in the occupational setting. Every day we encounter several workers who are referred ...
Upon implementing race-neutral equations, there was a decrease in z scores among Black children for forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1; mean difference −0.814, 95% CI −0.823 to −0.806, P<0.001 ...
A new category of spirometers, office spirometers, should be available for use in the primary-care setting. Each new model must successfully pass a validation study (see Appendix 1). The FEV 1 percent ...
PHOENIX -- Experts in lung diseases debated at the annual meeting of the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology here whether at-home spirometry tests and devices, which are now available ...
The American Thoracic Society now recommends use of average reference equations rather than those based on race or ethnicity for the assessment of pulmonary function in clinical and laboratory ...
An inaccurate spirometer is worse than useless. But having an accurate one is not a matter of belief or faith; it is a matter of proof. Furthermore, this must be documented proof. Without a documented ...
New research has established the first global benchmarks for assessing lung function across the entire life span. The lung growth charts will help healthcare professionals better understand lung ...
Interpreting spirometry with race-specific reference equations led to a lower Lung Allocation Score (LAS) for Black patients and higher LAS among White patients, which could potentially contribute to ...
Spirometry is widely used to diagnose and monitor respiratory diseases, but requires specific skills and knowledge. A national register is being created which will feature all appropriately trained ...
In 2008, as part of the changes to develop integrated health care services in the Canterbury region of New Zealand, the local health board in collaboration with general practitioners, respiratory ...
