This course, has been designed by BTS and ARTP to provide delegates with a programme on what you need to know about basic and advanced lung physiology central to everyday clinical practice. Its target audience is specialist trainees, AHPs and respiratory physicians who would like to refresh their knowledge but is equally relevant to those on the Practitioner/Scientist Training programmes, physiologists in practice or those just starting their career in clinical physiology and those preparing for the SCE.

Did you get last week's Spirometry Quiz question right?
Q2: What is the definition of FEV1?
Answer: C. The volume of air forcefully exhaled in the first second following maximal inspiration.

Explanation: FEV1 stands for the "Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 second" and is the volume of air (measured in litres) exhaled during the first second of forced spirometry efforts. The FEV1 is a key measurement from spirometry and it is vital to diagnose obstructive conditions like asthma and COPD.
The total volume of air exhaled during spirometry is the forced vital capacity (A, FVC) and the maximum rate of airflow is the peak expiratory flow (B, PEF).

More information about spirometry indices can be found in the ARTP 2020 statement on pulmonary function testing at : https://doi.org/10.1136/bmjresp-2020-000575

Each month the ARTP Spirometry Committee will be setting a new quiz question on the ARTP social media accounts. Check back next month to play again!
