Hi Debbie,
I recently attended a great ARTP course at Uni hosp North Staffs. The
use of nose clips for all spirometry was recommended to obtain
repeatable and comparable results. The individual can also pinch their
nose if preferred although I find that this isn't always effective.
Regards
Lesley

Hi everyone
I have spoken with a respiratory nurse speciaist this morning who is
telling me that anyone undertaking spirometry testing should wear a nose
clip whilst being tested. I have done a bit of reaearch and cannot find
anyone who was specifically taught to use the nose clips.
Has anyone got any comments or assistance?
thanks
Debbie
