Standardisation of the measurement of lung volumes
Why is this work in the frame?
A frame that forgets how it found something cannot be audited. These are the routes that admitted this work.
No Canadian affiliation. An affiliation-only frame — the usual design — would never have seen this work. It is one of the works that make the case for inverting the frame.
Abstract
This is a document produced by a joint ATS-ERS Task Force on lung function testing to provide new combined standards for lung volume measurements. It largely reflects a document that was produced after an international workshop held in 1990, funded by the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI). That document was very large and never published in full print, but those interested in all the details can find it posted on the ATS website. In the new document, the relevant technical aspects and the limitations of the methods currently available for lung volume measurements are summarised in a user-friendly way. The position of lung volume measurements in the diagnosis of respiratory disorders and their cost-to-benefit ratio were probably the most controversial aspects of the Task Force.
