          Abstract

          RESUMEN Las enfermedades pulmonares requieren estudios auxiliares de gran precisión. La espirometría es una prueba diagnóstica y de seguimiento de mucha importancia en el manejo de las patologías respiratorias, especialmente las obstructivas. Esta investigación presenta las indicaciones de su uso, y evaluó los errores en las espirometrías de 70 pacientes realizadas en un consultorio neumológico, considerando los criterios de aceptabilidad, reproductividad y calidad. Se detectó que más del 95% de espirometrías alcanzan el nivel de buena calidad, siendo este dato similar al de estudios más amplios. Los errores más frecuentes fueron la terminación temprana del procedimiento y diferencia no aceptable entre las principales variables medidas. Es una gran preocupación de las sociedades científicas neumológicas garantizar que estos estudios tengan la máxima fiabilidad posible, para eso es importante un monitoreo periódico de la calidad de las espirometrías y así asegurar que tengan la mayor utilidad, con profesionales sanitarios adecuadamente formados para el efecto.

          ABSTRACT Pulmonary diseases require very precise auxiliary studies. Spirometry is a diagnostic and monitoring test of great importance in the management of respiratory pathologies, especially obstructive ones. This research presents the indications of its use, and evaluated the errors in the spirometry of 70 patients performed in a pulmonology clinic, considering the criteria of acceptability, reproducibility and quality. It was detected that more than 95% of spirometries reach the level of good quality, this data being similar to that of larger studies. The most frequent errors were the early termination of the procedure and a not acceptable difference between the main variables measured. It´s a great concern of pulmonological scientific societies to ensure that these studies have the highest possible reliability, for that reason, it´s important to periodically monitor the quality of spirometries and thus ensure that they have the greatest utility, with health professionals adequately trained for this purpose.

          Screening for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: US Preventive Services Task Force Recommendation Statement.

          About 14% of US adults aged 40 to 79 years have chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and it is the third leading cause of death in the United States. Persons with severe COPD are often unable to participate in normal physical activity due to deterioration of lung function.
