Performing a Test

Note
The volume-time curve (Fig. 3-16) does not display the
forced inspiration at the end of the maneuver.
Bronchodilation (Post-Tests)
The Post test is usually performed to determine the patient's response to
bronchodilating asthma medication. This is done by administering a bron-
chodilator to the patient after he or she has performed a spirometry test
(Pre-Test). Approximately 10 to 20 minutes after the medication (when
bronchodilator shows effect, refer to medication labelling) a second spirom-
etry test is performed. After the test the Pre and Post results are compared.
Post tests can only be added to previous tests performed on the same day.
Select the patient.
Select the test, then click Add Post to close the window.
The window with the patient's existing tests appears. With

sion complete! appears and a quality grade from A (optimal) to F is dis-
played (see "Quality Messages and Quality Grades" on page 84).
