Pulmonary Function Testing and Office Based Spirometry
Update: 2025-05-16
Description
This program will discuss Pulmonary Function Testing & Office Based Spirometry. In the first half of the program, learners will gain an understanding of the key updates in the 2022 ATS/ERS pulmonary function test (PFT) guidelines. We will discuss how these revisions differ from the 2005 standards in areas such as test interpretation, reference values, and diagnostic criteria. In the second half viewers should expect to learn key updates in PFT interpretation, including the impact of the new reference standards and revised criteria for classifying severity of impairments and bronchodilator responsiveness. Learners will also appreciate common physiologic impairments on PFTs and develop an approach to interpreting PFTs.
