1. Testing the Subject
Chapter 1 describes pretest instructions and demographic parameters that need to be implemented prior to testing the subject, including the importance of accurately measuring the subject’s height. It then reviews errors that make a maneuver unacceptable by using example test results. Finally, there is a demonstration of performing a test on a subject.
2. Putting It All Together
Chapter 2 reviews the factors that determine a subject’s predicted values and which reference set is recommended by the ATS/ERS technical standard. It also describes the two major categories of lung abnormalities: obstruction and restriction. We then review the various grades awarded to a test session based on the acceptability and repeatability of data.
