ERS School Course on Assessment and Interpretation of Lung Function in the First Years of Life, Nice 2007
 |
|
 Educational Aims
This course is designed to provide the participant with an essential theoretical, physiological and practical basis for assessing lung function in infants and young children, and for interpreting results both from the published literature and from tests in individuals. Contemporary equipment will be on display throughout the course, with practical demonstrations of calibration and data collection for all the most commonly used infant lung function techniques, based on standards recently developed by the ERS/ATS Task Force.
