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 (manufacturers yet to be contacted), 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.
