Pulmonary function tests are most useful when performed with good technique and with an accurate system. Using standard techniques in performing the tests minimizes diagnostic and therapeutic errors. This report discusses the rationale and limits of standardization and offers practical suggestions for using available standards to increase confidence in test results. |
