This chapter emphasizes spirometry guidelines for conducting medical surveillance and epidemiological studies beyond those addressed by the 1987 American Thoracic Society Spirometry Update. These guidelines include specific recommendations concerning testing equipment, test performance, quality control, and technician training. Use of these guidelines should help ensure that changes in lung function over time and/or from certain exposures can be correctly interpreted and analyzed without reservation regarding their accuracy and quality.
本章重点介绍了肺活量测定法指南，用于开展医学监测和流行病学研究，这些内容超出了1987年美国胸科学会肺活量测定法更新所涉及的范围。这些指南包括有关测试设备、测试操作、质量控制和技术人员培训的具体建议。使用这些指南应有助于确保能够正确解释和分析肺功能随时间的变化和/或因某些暴露而产生的变化，而无需对其准确性和质量有所保留。
