To explain the basic principles of spirometry and the importance of pattern recognition in different lung pathologies of adults and children; to highlight the complexities in interpreting paediatric lung function and how to address these; to illustrate the different techniques for assessing airway resistance and bronchial hyperreactivity; to explain the basic principles of oscillometry and its contribution to better understand lung problems in both adults and children; to provide a step-by-step guide for interpreting arterial blood gas (ABG) results.
