HERMES Spirometry: the European Spirometry Driving Licence [PDF]
Breathe, 2011 Spirometry testing is the most widely practiced, most common and adaptable of all lung function tests and spirometers are used as a key instrument in the diagnosis of patients with respiratory disease [1]. As a leading cause of death worldwide responsible for some 9.4 million deaths [2], and further increases predicted by 2020, the management of lung ...

Psycho-Oncology, Volume 31, Issue 12, Page 2094-2103, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Objective Lung cancer in never‐smokers represents a growing proportion of patients. The relationship between smoking status, symptom appraisal and help‐seeking behaviour is complex. Little is known about cancer symptom‐related health behaviours according to smoking status.

New Spirometry Indices for Detecting Mild Airflow Obstruction. [PDF]
, 2018 The diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) relies on demonstration of airflow obstruction. Traditional spirometric indices miss a number of subjects with respiratory symptoms or structural lung disease on imaging.

One‐lung ventilation in obese patients undergoing thoracoscopic lobectomy for lung cancer
Thoracic Cancer, Volume 14, Issue 3, Page 281-288, January 2023., 2023 What is the best strategy to obtain one‐lung ventilation (OLV) in obese patients scheduled for thoracoscopic lung resections? Double lumen tubes (DLTs), (i.e., Carlens tube, Robertshaw tube etc…) or single‐lumen tube (SLT) with bronchial blockers (i.e., Univent, EZ blockers etc…)?Obese group compared to the control group was associated with: (i) higher

Epidemiology, genetics, and subtyping of preserved ratio impaired spirometry (PRISm) in COPDGene. [PDF]
, 2014 BackgroundPreserved Ratio Impaired Spirometry (PRISm), defined as a reduced FEV1 in the setting of a preserved FEV1/FVC ratio, is highly prevalent and is associated with increased respiratory symptoms, systemic inflammation, and mortality.

Diagnostic spirometry in COPD is increasing, a comparison of two Swedish cohorts
npj Primary Care Respiratory Medicine, 2023 Spirometry should be used to confirm a diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This test is not always performed, leading to possible misdiagnosis.
