Abstract
Improved approaches to quality assurance have led to the need to update the technical standards of spirometry taking into account modern technical capabilities. The aim of the study is to present updated recommendations on spirometry with explanations and additions that are important for everyday work in practical healthcare. Analysis of documents on technical standards of spirometry developed by an joint task force of specialists with expertise in conducting and analyzing lung function tests and ensuring laboratory quality, appointed by the Russian Respiratory Society, the Russian Association of Functional Diagnostics Specialists, the Russian Scientific Medical Society of Therapists, as well as a joint group of the American Thoracic Society and the European Respiratory Society. The 1st part presents sections on indications and contraindications to spirometry; technical conditions of the procedure, including infection control; methods of spirometry; describes the main indicators and criteria for the quality of the study. The implementation of the presented standards and consensus recommendations for clinicians, operators and researchers is necessary for improving the accuracy of spirometric measurements and the patient experience.
