Session aims
to demonstrate the measurement of lung function with simple (handheld) and/or professional spirometers, including how to prepare the equipment and perform an optimal test; to demonstrate forced oscillometry measurements and to highlight techniques that ensure accuracy; to discuss the interpretation of results, the clinical relevance of measurements and the advantages/disadvantages of the two techniques. All this will be achieved with live demonstrations, case studies of adults and children and interactive questions/discussion.
