Pulmonary function testing is useful for the diagnosis and management of a variety of pulmonary conditions, and the most commonly obtained component is spirometry. Spirometry is most useful in the evaluation of obstructive airway disorders but can be a helpful tool in the management of patients with chest restriction or mixed disease.

Paediatric Respiratory Reviews, 2006
Recent data indicate that clinicians and researchers should dismiss the myth that preschoolers are unable to perform spirometry. Reproducible, acceptable flow-volume curves are possible in this age group; however, modifications to the ATS/ERS adult criteria are critical due to physiologic differences.

Many spirograms cannot be interpreted properly even when the technician is expert. The criteria of an interpretable spirogram are (1) full inspiration, (2) quick attainment of highest flow, (3) continuous decrease in flow with expiration, (4) smooth, gradual termination, and (5) expiration lasting three seconds or more.

Some 20 and more years ago, simple tests of pulmonary function revealed obstructive abnormalities in many asthmatic patients who were regarded as "well" by their physicians. "Asthma" was wheezing and dyspnea. Dyspnea is subjective and difficult to assess, but wheezing could be heard, and when this ceased or markedly lessened, perhaps after hectic days ...

Three of the most popular microcomputers, the TRS-80 Model I, the APPLE II+, and the IBM Personal Computer were connected to a spirometer for data acquisition and analysis. Simple programs were written which allow the collection, analysis and storage of the data produced during spirometry.

Spirometry and oral contraceptives
American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1973Spirometry was performed on 2,066 women between the ages of 15 and 60 who received routine checkups in an automated multiphasic laboratory. Measures of pulmonary function obtained by means of wedge spirometer were examined as function of oral contraceptive use. Spirometer values appear to be unaffected by past or present pill use.

Pneumoparotid due to Spirometry
Chest, 1999Pneumoparotid has been described in patients who generate increased intraoral pressures when playing wind instruments, while coughing, and when undergoing dental work. Some patients have intentionally created pneumoparotid to avoid duties at school or in the military, or to gain attention.
