Algorithm for Automatic Forced Spirometry Quality Assessment: Technological Developments
We hypothesized that the implementation of automatic real-time assessment of quality of forced spirometry (FS) may significantly enhance the potential for extensive deployment of a FS program in the community. Recent studies have demonstrated that the application of quality criteria defined by the ATS/ERS (American Thoracic Society/European Respiratory Society) in commercially available equipme...
متن کاملReferences values for forced spirometry
Selected sets of reference values for forced spirometry derived from nonsmoking, white subjects [1] show marked differences among studies [2–6] in both predicted forced vital capacity (FVC) (up to 640 mL) and predicted forced expiratory volume during the first second (FEV1) (up to 310 mL). The magnitude of the differences among reference values gives rise to potential concerns for the clinical ...
متن کاملTelemedicine enhances quality of forced spirometry in primary care.
Forced spirometry is pivotal for diagnosis and management of respiratory diseases, but its use in primary care is suboptimal. The aim of the present study was to assess a web-based application aiming at fostering high-quality spirometry in primary care. This was a randomised controlled trial with 12 intervention primary care units (PCi) and six control units (PCc) studied over 12 months. All 34...
متن کاملAssessment of airway hyperreactivity: comparison of forced spirometry and body plethysmography for methacholine challenge tests
INTRODUCTION Bronchial challenge tests by inhalation of aerosolized methacholine (MCH) are commonly used in the clinical diagnosis of airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR). While the detection of airway narrowing relies on the patient's cooperation performing forced spirometry, body plethysmographic measurements of airway resistance are less depending on the patient's cooperation and do not alter th...
متن کاملTechnological developments in lipidomics.
Lipid analysis is a well-established field of research that focuses on one lipid or a few lipids. The recent developments in mass spectrometry technologies have enabled more comprehensive studies to be performed on lipids present in a sample. The move towards extensive lipid research has led to the coining of the term lipidomics, which is defined as the ensemble of lipids present in a sample. I...
