Guideline

Specification for signal processing and data handling used for infant pulmonary function testing. ERS/ATS Task Force on Standards for Infant Respiratory Function Testing. European Respiratory Society/American Thoracic Society

U Frey, J Stocks, P Sly, and J Bates

The aim of this present paper is to define minimal performance criteria for the separate items comprising signal processing and data handling used to measure respiratory function in infants. These guidelines cover numerous aspects including: signal processing, data handling and subsequent analysis, reporting of results, demographics and handling of reference values. Adherence to these guidelines should ensure that infant lung function measurements can be performed with an acceptable degree of safety, precision, and reproducibility. Furthermore, they will facilitate multicentre collection of data and the performance of clinical investigations.
