   • 2005, Charles G. Irvin, “Chapter 56: Guide to the Evaluation of Pulmonary Function”, in Qutayba Hamid, Joanne Shannon, James Martin, editors, Physiologic Basis of Respiratory Disease, BC Decker, page 651:

     Spirometry is typically the first PFT to be performed in a patient. This is because the indications for performing spirometry are extensive (Table 56-3). The indications are so numerous, in fact, that it is a surprise that spirometry is so greatly underused. There are several perceived and real barriers to its use, but these can be easily overcome by studying spirometry interpretation guides and by getting the right equipment and good training.
