Spirometry

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.

Pitfalls of Spirometry

Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine, 1981
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.

The Role of Spirometry and Dyspnea Index in the Management of Subglottic Stenosis

The Laryngoscope, 2020
We aimed to assess the role of spirometry measures and Dyspnea Index (DI) in response to treatment of subglottic stenosis (SGS) and ability to predict need for surgery.

Spirometry in Asthma

New England Journal of Medicine, 1973
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 ...

Computer Assisted Spirometry

American Industrial Hygiene Association Journal, 1983
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.

Interpreting Spirometry

Otolaryngologic Clinics of North America, 2014
The ability to accurately obtain and interpret spirometry is essential for physicians caring for patients with asthma and inflammatory disease of the airway. This article reviews the basic equipment, setting, and personnel needed to obtain quality spirometric data.

Pneumoparotid due to Spirometry

Chest, 1999
Pneumoparotid 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.

Spirometry and oral contraceptives

American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1973
Spirometry 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.

Simple spirometry measurement

Nursing Standard, 2008
This article describes expiratory spirometry manoeuvres. It examines equipment care and maintenance, patient preparation, basic techniques, reproducibility and how to ensure technical acceptability and correct common errors.

A mathematical model for spirometry

Computers and Biomedical Research, 1987
A model originally designed to fit population growth data was investigated to determine whether it could fit spirometric traces as a function of time in normal and ill humans and in normal rats, obtained, respectively, by spirometer and whole-body plethysmography.
