ARCHETYPE Pulmonary Function Testing (openEHR-EHR-OBSERVATION.pulmonary_function.v1)

ARCHETYPE IDopenEHR-EHR-OBSERVATION.pulmonary_function.v1
ConceptPulmonary Function Testing
DescriptionPulmonary function testing including spirometry and other lung volume testing.
UseUsed to record all representations of pulmonary function testing, including spirometry. Multiple events and state information may be used to capture pre and post bronchial challenge or bronchodilation results.
MisuseSupporting subject information, often required to interpret the tests, such as smoking status or oxygenation, should be captured in separate, specific archetypes.
PurposeTo record results of pulmonary function tests, including spirometry and lung volume testing.
