Abstract

Spirometry is a very useful test in paediatric clinical practice. Nevertheless, to avoid making mistakes, it is important to keep in mind its role and what can be measured and how. “On which patients should spirometry be performed? What does the clinician want to rule out? Is the result reliable? What should be avoided?”.
