account:
1
Check that the turbine is correctly inserted with the
mouthpiece, as in the figure

Instruct the patient as to how to the test is being carried
out, as his cooperation is vital for it to be completed correctly.
Review Chapter 7 SPIROMETRY TECHNIQUE.
Patients can carry out the spirometry manoeuvres in two different
ways:
• The first consists in starting the manoeuvre with FORCED
EXPIRATION followed by FORCED INSPIRATION, if required.
• In the second way the patient breaths normally through
the turbine, and when indicated by the technician, takes a deep
breath filling completely his lungs, and then performs a FORCED
EXPIRATION followed by FORCED INSPIRATION, if required.

Inform the patient of how to hold the equipment when using
