Description

Spirometry is a vital pulmonary function test used to diagnose and monitor respiratory conditions such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and restrictive lung diseases. This course covers the fundamental principles of spirometry, including lung volumes, flow rates, and standardized testing procedures. Participants will gain practical knowledge of spirometry equipment, patient preparation, result interpretation, and recognizing abnormal patterns. The course also explores clinical case studies to enhance decision-making and improve patient outcomes in respiratory care.
