Background. Spirometry is the gold standard in lung function assessment. Ventilation disturbances diagnoses are based on spirometry parameters. Good cooperation between technicians and patients is essential to get good quality records. The aim of the study was to qualify the control and to estimate the possibility to perform spirometry in the group of women and men aged 80 and more. Material and methods. The results of 45 patients, 27 male and 18 female, aged 80 and more years, examined in our lung function laboratory between 1994–2004, were assessed according to American Thoracic Society recommendations for spirometry. Results. Only 2 persons were unable to carry out spirometry at all. 30 (66%) patients were able to prolong expiratio...
