The importance of the assessment of pulmonary function in COPD Bailey KLMed Clin North Am 2012[Jul]; 96 (4): 745-52Spirometry is the gold standard for making the diagnosis of COPD. It should be performed in every case of suspected COPD. Other pulmonary functions, such as lung volumes, can give insight into physiologic consequences of COPD, such as hyperinflation. Pulmonary function testing can also aid in assessing the severity of disease and in managing the disease after diagnosis is made.|Asthma/diagnosis[MESH]|Bronchodilator Agents[MESH]|Diagnosis, Differential[MESH]|Forced Expiratory Volume[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Lung Volume Measurements[MESH]|Pulmonary Diffusing Capacity[MESH]|Pulmonary Disease, Chronic Obstructive/*diagnosis/therapy[MESH]|Severity of Illness Index[MESH]|Spirometry[MESH]|Vital Capacity[MESH] |
