Abstract
The indications for bronchospirometry in a series of 1,089 examinations are listed. Although 71 per cent of all tests were performed primarily for “investigational” purposes, it was felt that the procedure will eventually find its widest application in the field of clinical evaluation. Fourteen patients from a series of 311, referred for evaluation prior to surgery, were selected for individual presentation. They illustrate the commonly encountered indications.Keywords
