When undertaking spirometry, take the following steps into
account:
1
Check that the turbine is correctly inserted with the
mouthpiece, as in the figure.
2
Instruct the patient as to how to carry out the test, as his
cooperation is vital for it to be completed correctly.
WARNING:
The test must be carried out by skilled staff. Review Chapter
7. SPIROMETRY TECHNIQUE or ask for a spirometry course
from SIBEL, S.A.U.
Patients can carry out the spirometry manoeuvres in two different
ways:
• The first consists of starting to move the turbine with FORCED
EXPIRATION followed by FORCED INSPIRATION, if required.
• The second consists of the patient breathing normally through
the turbine and, when indicated by the technician, fill his lungs full
of air and then start FORCED EXPIRATION followed by FORCED
INSPIRATION, if required.
3
Inform the patient of the way of holding the equipment when
using the spirometer, taking care not to press any key and fitting
the nose clip as shown in the following figure.
