Target Audience Current and future directors of PFT labs, attending physicians, respiratory therapists, trainees, fellows, and other interested health care providers. Objectives At the conclusion of this session, the participant will be able to: • gain further understanding of the principles and practice of pulmonary function diagnostic tests • develop greater confidence interpreting pulmonary function test results in clinical practice • identify strategies to approach the interpretation of pulmonary function test results in complex patients This course will focus on clinical lung function testing, combining guidelines from the new technical standards published in the past several years with interactive experience in small group settings focusing on the performance, interpretation, and reporting of pulmonary function testing (PFT). We will combine didactic lectures with case-based instruction, small group discussion, and live demonstration of spirometry and diffusing capacity measurement. We will use a multidisciplinary team approach to facilitating case discussions including content experts, clinicians, respiratory therapists, and pulmonary function laboratory medical directors. The course will conclude with a discussion of difficult cases by a diverse expert panel. 8:00 Introduction 8:05 Winds of Change: Updates in Spirometry Measurement and Interpretation 8:50 Step Into My Phonebooth: Interpretation of Static Lung Volumes 9:20 Classy Gases: Diffusing Capacity Assessment and Interpretation 9:50 Break 10:05 Awwww! - PFT Application in Pediatrics 10:35 The Exhalation Station – Real-time Demonstration of PFT Assessment and Troubleshooting 11:15 Panting and Ranting: Small Group PFT Case Discussions 12:15 Lunch 1:00 The Future Is Now - Use of Forced Oscillation Technique in Clinical Practice 1:30 Provocateurs in Pipes: Direct and Indirect Bronchial Challenge Testing 2:10 Break
