Know Your Numbers & More – Helping Patients Understand Spirometry.

Have you ever wanted to:

Understand how predicted values are calculated

Understand why the maneuver is forced, and what happens when that’s compromised

Understand what the loops tell us about your lung function

Have you wondered, can flow volume loops tell you more than just severity of disease?

If you want to understand more about your spirometry results or why you should ask your doctor for a spirometry test, than plan to join us!

*There will be time for YOUR questions!*

Here is a little information about our speaker:

José Ramos, RRT, MEd, is the Director of IDN & Clinical Trials at Monitored Therapeutics, Inc (MTI).

José has been a student of lung function testing since 1995. José spent most of his career at Cleveland Clinic as a respiratory therapist in the Pulmonary Function Laboratory, as a Technologist, Supervisor, Manager, and then Director before joining MTI.

José has a passion for teaching and enjoys sharing his knowledge of lung function testing with anyone wanting to learn more.

"I am a strong believer that the proof is in the pudding. The rigorous requirements for quality spirometry demands that equipment and personnel perform at the highest quality from the beginning to the end”.

The meeting is free, but you have to register. First, please fill out our google form here forms.gle/3yc4sNHw8Ri5BAbKA - Then you will receive the final Zoom registration.

I hope you can join us!
