27 Test Quality Review Technologist Expectations
28 Test Quality Checklist Spirometry Was the ATS/ERS end of test criteria met? (1 second plateau) Was the expiratory time at least 6 seconds? Was the back extrapolated volume less than 5% of the FVC or 150 ml, whichever is greater? Is exhalation smooth and continuous? Was the effort maximal based on the peak flow? Have 3 acceptable trials been completed? Was repeatability criteria met for FVC and FEV1 (150 ml)? 28
29 Test Quality Checklist - DLCO 29
30 Test Quality Checklist Lung Volumes Was the EELV stable? Was the shutter closed at the correct level? Was the pant volume small (i.e. <50mL) Was the Pant frequency ~ 1Hz (30-60/m) for TGV Was the loop closed with the TGV Maneuver? Is there minimal hysteresis in the open shutter loop? Are there at least 3 acceptable trials? Has repeatability criteria been met? 30
31 Test Quality Checklist Airway Resistance Was the Pant frequency ~1-2 Hz (90-120/m) for Raw? Was the loop closed with the Vpant Maneuver? Is there minimal hysteresis in the open shutter loop? Is the pant volume acceptable? Are there at least 3 acceptable trials? Has repeatability criteria been met? 31
