Course Description:
In part 2 of the spirometry series, we will review and demonstrate the correct technique used to
coach a subject to order to achieve accurate results. We will discuss the key variables needed to
calculate an individual’s predicted normal range and the preferred reference set used to calculate
this range. The series also reviews through visual discussion common testing errors and how an
acceptable and repeatable test session is defined. It also helps the learner understand the most
common patterns of lung disease (obstruction and restriction) through basic analogous modeling.
The learner should be able to perform and assess the quality of their test session by the end of
this two part series. Practice performing the test on subjects thereafter is the final key in
obtaining true competency and quality test results.
