2023年5月14日 · One of the overlooked parts of teaching pulmonary function interpretation is developing an appreciation for the number and variety of errors that the equipment, patients and technicians can produce and how they affect the reported test results. I routinely run across a couple dozen errors each week while reviewing reports.

This model comes in three types. System-1 is the basic type and covers VC, FVC, F-V, MVV and MV tests. System-2 covers FRC test in addition to those of the basic type.

2013年10月2日 · I used to think that spirometry and diffusion capacity tests were hard and that lung volumes were easy.
