ABOUT SOME METROLOGICAL ASPECTS OF STANDARDIZATION IN SPIROMETRY

Barbara Juroszek

Abstract

Almost all of the spirometric parameters are measured or calculated during forced expiration because it is one of the most popular and most valuable tests. The American Thoracic Society (ATS) together with The European Respiratory Society (ERS) formulated the technical requirements, which should be fulfilled in spirometry today. The author shows how these requirements can be fulfilled in modern digital spirometers.
