  4. Indication for Spirometry • Diagnosis • Early detection • Monitoring

  5. Essential Components of Valid Spirometry • Equipment Performance • Testing Technique • Measurement of Results • Technician Training Office spirometry, portable spirometr, handheld electronic spirometer home spirometers,office-based spirometers, standard spirometers

  6. TYPES OF SPIROMETERS • 1. Volumetric Spirometers: • Accumulate and directly measure exhaled air volume as a function of time; • Examples are water-sealed, dry rolling seal, and bellows spirometers; • Provide direct volume-time tracing; • In general, are precise, simple to operate, and easy to maintain; • May be slightly unwieldy due to size and weight.

  7. TYPES OF SPIROMETERS • 2. Flow-Type spirometers: • Indirectly measure airflow during exhalation; integrate the flows to obtain expired volume (pneumotachometer, turbine, hot wire anemometer, vortex, ultrasound beam) • Large range of flows are measured during a forced expiration: Flow sensors may perform better at high flow rates (early in maneuver) than at low flow rates (end of maneuver); • Often more variable (less precise) than volumetric spirometers; • Integrity of sensors must be maintained for accurate spirometry measurements - if sensor is damaged, blocked, or has moisture condensation or obstruction by mucus, test results may be erroneous; • Malfunctions in sensors, transducers, and electronics can go unnoticed - users must be alert for anomalous results; • Lightweight and portable.

  8. Factors to Consider when Choosing a Spirometer • A spirometer must: • be simple to use; • be safe and effective. Ensure compliance with spirometer and electrical safety standards; • be capable of simple routine calibration checking and have stable calibration which allows adjustments by the operator; • be robust and reliable, with low maintenance requirements; • provide graphic display of the manoeuvre; • utilise a sensor which is disposable or can be cleaned and disinfected; • be purchased from a reputable supplier who can provide training and servicing/repair; • be provided with a comprehensive manual describing its operation, routine maintenance and calibration; • use relevant normal predicted values; • be reasonably priced.

  10. MINIMAL RECOMMENDATIONS

  11. Petty TL, Weinmann GG.Building a national strategy for the prevention and management of and research in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute Workshop Summary. Bethesda, Maryland, August 29-31, 1995. • JAMA 277:246-53;1997.

  12. Early assessment of respiratoryfunction in people at risk for chronic respiratory diseases……. Office Spirometers Must Only Report Values for FEV1, FEV6, and the FEV1/FEV6 Ratio

  13. Technical Requirements for Office Spirometers Advantagesof the newly proposed category of office spirometers for thispurpose include: • lower instrument cost • smaller size • less effortto perform the test • improved ease of calibration checks • an improved quality-assurance program Office spirometers shouldnot be utilized for diagnostic testing, surveillance for occupational lung disease, disability evaluations, or research purposes. Ferguson GT et al: Chest. 2000;117:1146-1161

Guideline for office spirometry in adults, 2004. • S Afr Med J. 2004 Jul;94(7 Pt 2):576-87. • Ferguson GT, Enright PL, Buist AS, Higgins MW. • Office spirometry for lung health assessment in adults: • A consensus statement from the National Lung Health • Education Program. • Chest. 2000 Apr;117(4):1146-61.

  16. Thenecessity for each new office spirometry system to have a "real-world"validation study before it is marketed. Ferguson GT et al: Chest. 2000;117:1146-1161 Each new office spirometry system must pass a “real world” validation study, ensuring that both the false positive and false-negative rates are less than 5 %. No spirometry system has completed such a validation study, however, and their “real world” accuracy is unknown Enright PL & Ferguson GT et al: Clin Chest Med 21:645-652;2000.

  17. Gold Standard

  18. Precision or Reproducibility • Is reliability • Indicates the ability of an instrument to yield the same measurement for a variable when the variable is measured repeatedly • Precision does not infer accuracy

  19. Accuracy or Validity • The ability of an instrument to measure its true value. • If accurate it is also valid and reliable (or precise) • Can be accurate at one level (magnitude) of measurement but inaccurate at others • Instruments should reflect acceptable accuracy over range of values you measure

  20. Ten patients were asked to perform the same maneuvers. They represented various degrees of severity of COPD G Liistro et al. – ERS 2004

  21. Coefficient of variability measured in the highly trained subjects G Liistro et al. – ERS 2004

  22. Bias ? Systematic error? 2 R = 0,2694 Bland & Altman Proportional error 1,2 1 0,8 0,6 Difference (reference-test) 0,4 0,2 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 -0,2 -0,4 Mean G Liistro et al. – ERS 2004

  25. Some devices presented a proportional error for some parameters

  26. Office-based spirometer value minus portable spirometer value vs mean of two values YES NO Mortimer, K. M. et al. Chest 2003;123:1899-1907
