Asthma Australia has developed a two-part video summarising the new guidelines on performing spirometry safely in primary care settings.
It aims to support health professionals to perform spirometry confidently and safely in their practice in the current pandemic context.
The short videos provide practical and guideline-based information presented by Dr Kerry Hancock GP and Richard Parsons, Senior Respiratory Scientist.
Divided into Part 1: Infection Control Advice and Part 2: Infection Control Guidance for Performing Spirometry in Primary Care Settings, the videos support the recently published position statement ‘Pulmonary function testing during SARS-CoV-2’.
This position statement was produced by the Thoracic Society of Australia and New Zealand (TSANZ) and the Australian and New Zealand Society of Respiratory Science.
