Postgraduate Course
Chairs: Ellie Oostveen (Edegem, Belgium), Jellien Makonga-Braaksma (Woudenberg, Netherlands)
Aims: To describe alternatives to spirometry that can be used to measure airways and respiratory system resistance, and especially evaluating young children and older adults who may have problems performing an accurate spirometric test; to describe the methods that are particularly useful in clinical settings and to some extent in primary care or outpatient departments; to present the principles, equipment, advantages, and disadvantages of well-known and recently developed alternative methods.
