Spirometry Why?
• Employment Screening• Pre-employment medical• Monitoring• Weaning steroid meds• SOBOE• Query chronic cough• Abnormal CXR (hyper-inflated lung)• Diagnostics • Heart vs Lungs• Hyperventilation or genuine airflow limitation• Obstruction, restriction or both

Spirometry – Patient prep
• Reason of testing – indication
• Brief explanation on how testing is required to be done, it is not a relaxed test.
• Medication list, if already taken any inhalers
• Check for any contra-indications, i.e. Brief medical history

Spirometry Testing 1
• Simple brief instructions, followed by prompts during testing in a timely manner.
• Deep breath in and blast out with no pause or hesitation, hard and fast
• Continuous encouragement to keep exhaling is very important
• Then take hard fast deep breath in before coming off the mouthpiece

Spirometry Testing
• Take a deep breath in..
• Without any pause blast out…
• And keep breathing out….
• Keep going until six seconds reached or patient unable to breath out any further.
• Encourage patient right through the trial…then take a deep breath in and catch your breath.

Components of FV-Loop
• FEV1: Forced expiratory volume in first second, is the volume of air exhaled forcefully in first second after maximal inhalation
• FVC: Forced Vital capacity, is the total volume of air exhaled forcefully until no more air can be expired
• FEV1/FVC%: AKA (FER) that is forced expiratory ratio. The FEV1 is presented as a percentage of FVC
• MMEF or FEF25-75%- Maximum Mid Expiratory Flow, decreased in obstructive lung disorders with a concaving pattern of the loop

Spirometry normal but patient still symptomatic
• Dlco – Gas transfer using CO gas and He or CH4 gas for single breath volumes
• Body plethysmography – Static lung volumes
• Bronchial challenge tests – Can be direct or indirect agents egdirect Methacholine and Indirect Saline or Mannitol
• Erect Supine spirometry
• FeNO – Exhaled nitric oxide

Messages from Respiratory Consultants 1
• Dr Ron Hayudini (Waikato Hospital)
“Look Before you Leap….Always establish that the results are reliable before using them”
“Pre/post should be done even if pre is normal. For COPD dx you need post spirometry any way.”
Any comments on inhalers for COPD and asthma patients
“COPD – 1st line is LAMA, and in Asthma first line is ICS”

Messages from Respiratory Consultants 2
• Dr Paul Tan (Whangarei Hospital)
“Firstly, ensure spirometry done is technically adequate.”
“ Secondly, if pre is abnormal do a post. Should do post if pre is normal, depending on what is the clinical question. Always use results in clinical context, know what the question is know what you are looking for. ”

• Dr Christine Bradley (Whangarei Hospital)
• “Do bronchodilator spirometry even if baseline is normal, post BD done to excluded the reversibility component , as sometimes there can be significant reversibility.”

• Dr Janice Wong (Waikato hospital) “A negative response to pre/post bronchodilator spirometry does not exclude Asthma, especially when the patients are exacerbated or wheezy”
