Hi Sarah
How about Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spirometry, it explains
the terminology. I have the McGraws-Hills pocket guide to spirometry by
Johns and Pierce, it has a reasonable section on the mechanics of breathing.
Otherwise I would head to YouTube which has some really good resources
particularly, if like me, you like to hear and see an explanation, see
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yNDKD_xI684 for a good one.
I also attach A Guide to Performing Quality Assured Diagnostic Spirometry
which I think is a really good guidance document although I expect you
already have this if you are doing the ARTP course.
Regards
Karen

Subject: [OCC-HEALTH] Help with spirometry theory
I'm currently studying the ARTP online theory course but finding it quite
hard going. Does anyone have any good introductory books or web resources
that they can recommend please that aren't too technical. I'm having a bit
of difficulty getting my head around all the different terminology, and how
this relates to the physiology of the lungs. Many thanks
Sarah Holling
