Spirometry

The Canadian Asthma Consensus Guidelines (CACG) recommends, “Asthma control criteria should be assessed at each visit (level IV). Measurement of pulmonary function, preferably by spirometry, should be done regularly (level III) in adults and children 6 years of age and older.” According to A National Report Card published on COPD in Canada, 76% of Ontario physicians have access to spirometry and only 45% use it as a diagnostic tool.

The importance of Spirometry is quite evident. Thus, the Provider Education Program has developed a range of programs for health care providers on this topic.

Some of the programs include:
