Training activity: 3

Details

Observe a full lung function testing procedure and reflect on the procedure

Type

Observational training activity (OTA)

Evidence requirements

Evidence the observation or experience has been undertaken by the trainee.

Reflections on the observation or experience at two timepoints including contextualisation to the trainees own practice. E.g., for planned observations, a reflection before the observation and after, or for unplanned events a reflection one day after and another reflection a week later.

Considerations

• Reflect on the procedure, considering elements such as:
  • The impact on patients within the respiratory specialty
  • Impact of tests on clinical decision making
  • Importance of height and weight measurements to the calculate predictive values
  • Calibration
  • Principles of the procedure
  • Reference ranges
  • Reporting limits
  • The requirements to provide patient centred care
