Spirometry Protocol and Software Training Handout SPIROMETRY PROTOCOL AND SOFTWARE TRAINING HANDOUT Spirometry Protocol Key Points in Performing Spirometry ▪ Always demonstrate the maneuver ▪ Prompt the participant to BLAST out the air ▪ Continue by having the participant PUSH out the air ▪ Continue until the balloon bursts or at least six seconds Getting ready to do Spirometry Subjects will be instructed to not use any bronchodilator medicines for at least 4 hours prior to the appointment (in the case of salmeterol [Serevent] or Fomoterol (foradil)or Tritoprium (Spiriva) avoid for 12 hours prior to the test). Bronchodilator medicines include: Short acting bronchodilators Albuterol (ventolin, proventil, airet, volmax tablet) Levalbuterol (xopenex) Metaproterenol (alupent) Pirbuterol (maxair) Terbutaline (brethaire, brethine, bricanyl) Isoetharine (bronkosol) Ipratropium (atrovent) Ipratropium and albuterol combination (Combivent) Isoproteranol (isuprel) Primatine 1 CHW Educational Protocols – Spirometry Protocol and Software Training Handout Bitolterol (tornalate) Long acting bronchodilator Salmeterol (serevent) Fomoterol (foradil) Tritoprium (Spiriva) Bronchodilators should be avoided because they can affect the spirometry results. If the patient is having symptoms from asthma and needs to use the medicine, ask that the medicine be used 4 hours before the visit, so that the next dose is due during the visit. Patients can then do the spirometry and then the patient can take the medicine after the test is completed. When scheduling the follow-up spirometry visit, if at all possible, try to make the visit at the same time as the initial baseline visit. 1. Preparing the Computer 1. Check to see if the time and date on the lower right hand corner is current. If the date and time is NOT, the spirometer will NOT sync with the computer or the Easy One software. a. If the date and time is not current, shut down the computer. Start up the computer again and as soon as the DELL screen comes on, press key F2. b. In the upper left hand corner is the Time: And Date: change both of those boxes to the current date and time. Note that the time is in military time. 2. Put the USB end of the spirometer cable into the back of the computer. You will hear a ding. 3. Put the large end of the cable into the bottom of the hand held spirometer. The curved edge of the large cord end with the prongs facing forward; is inserted into the bottom of the spirometer unit. 4. Go to the computer and double click on the EasyWare Icon. 5. Turn the Spirometer on. 6.

This screen with have “test” written down the side of the screen and the top of the screen will say “FVC Expiration.” 21. Press “Enter.” 22. The next screen is the “Baseline Setting.” The screen will ask to block the Spirette until prompted to blast out. 23. Have the participant place his/her hand over the end of the Spirette and blow gently. 24. Press “Enter”. 8 CHW Educational Protocols – Spirometry Protocol and Software Training Handout 25. The test screen will appear. 26. While the patient is performing the test, the 27. Here is the first completed test displayed. The balloon animation will inflate as a visual program will order the tests according to best reference of the patient’s progress. results. After three successful tests are completed, click the square box at the bottom of the screen to save the results and return to the main screen. 9 CHW Educational Protocols – Spirometry Protocol and Software Training Handout 28. The patient record has now changed to a data file that can be accessed to view test results. 29. In order to review the patient’s results, double click on the patient record and the test results screen will appear. 4. Preparing the Participant The subjects should be seated during spirometry testing. The mouthpiece of the spirometer should comfortably fit in the mouth of the test subject without undue effort. Tight fitting belts or garments should be loosened, and loose fitting dentures, oral appliances, chewing gum, candy and other foreign bodies should be removed from the test subject’s mouth. 10 CHW Educational Protocols – Spirometry Protocol and Software Training Handout 5. Explain and Demonstrate the Maneuver The maneuver should be briefly explained to the participant in words that he/she will understand: “I want you to take as deep a breath as you can and blast it out as fast and as hard as possible until no more air comes out. It is like trying to blow out all of your birthday candles.” Effort and time can be saved by giving a demonstration of the maneuver by pretending you use the spirometer. This should be done in all cases. Take a deep breath with participant’s mouth wide open, elevate participant’s shoulders, stick out participant’s tongue, lay the mouthpiece on it, close participant’s mouth around the mouthpiece, and forcefully blast out through the mouthpiece, continuing to blow for at least 6 seconds. Use enough body language to demonstrate that it must be a forceful and prolonged effort. 6. Perform the Test The subject should now perform the test. The words used to coach the subject should be expressive. Before the forced expiration, coach the subject to take as big a breath as possible—“FILL it up. More, More, More.” Have them inset the mouthpiece in their mouth and tell them to BLAST out all of your air!!!” Continue to coach the effort for a minimum of six seconds or until the flow falls to zero. During exhalation, use phrases like “Push, push, push. .” or “Squeeze” to motivate the subject. 1. The computer screen will show the child blow up the balloon and record the results. 2. You will see the results on the spirometer. 3. Select “Enter”. 4. Testing screen will show. NEXT will be highlighted in black. 5. Select “Enter” for next test. 6. Repeat blowing three times. 7. After the 3rd time, use the arrow to move over to the quit. 8. Select “Quit” 9. You will be at the “testing” screen. 10. Go to the computer screen and click on the square button. This will synchronize the spirometer results with the computer. 7. When is a Testing Session Done? 11 CHW Educational Protocols – Spirometry Protocol and Software Training Handout The goal of the testing session is to obtain three good quality or “good effort” maneuvers this will be a “C” or better. Acceptable maneuvers are those that have a rapid onset of maximum flow, that are smooth, without hesitation or coughing, and that continue until the flow rate is zero and have a minimum expiratory time of 6 seconds. If all of these criteria are met, the display will say, ‘good effort, do next effort’. No more than eight maneuvers are allowed in a single session. Experience has shown that the likelihood of improving the quality of the session is slight and the likelihood of fatiguing and frustrating the test subject (and the technician!) increases with more than eight maneuvers. If this happens, document on the participant allergy form that you were unable to do this test and identify the reason. 8. If Participant Make a Mistake Spirometry sessions will not always be perfect,.

  • For the Durable Medical Equipment Regional Contractors (Dmercs) Initiated a Revision to the Local Coverage Determination (LCD) for Nebulizers
    AMERICAN ASSOCIATION FOR HOMECARE Via Hand Delivery January 19, 2007 Leslie V. Norwalk, Esq. Acting Administrator Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Room 445-G, Hubert H. Humphrey Building 200 Independence Avenue, SW Washington, DC 20201 http://www.cms.hhs.gov/eRulemaking Re: National Coverage Analysis for Nebulized Beta Adrenergic Therapy for Lung Diseases (CAG - 00354N) Dear Ms. Norwalk: The American Association for Homecare (AAHomecare) submits the following comments on the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services' (CMS') national coverage analysis (NCA) for nebulized beta adrenergic agonist therapy for lung disease. AAHomecare is the only national association representing every line of service within the homecare community. AAHomecare members include home health agencies and suppliers and manufacturers of DME, prosthetics, orthotics, and supplies (collectively "DMEPOS"), rehab and assistive technologies, and pharmacies that provide infusion and inhalation drug therapies to patients in their homes. Our membership reflects a cross-section of the homecare community, including national, regional, and local providers and suppliers. AAHomecare and its members are committed to advancing the value and practice of quality health care services at home. I. BACKGROUND As you are aware, coverage for outpatient drugs under Medicare Part B is limited to a very small number of drugs. With respect to respiratory medications, Medicare covered inhalation drugs used with a nebulizer under the premise that the drug was a supply necessary to accomplish the l therapeutic objective of the nebulizer. Medicare pays for the nebulizer, the drug, and any necessary supplies. Inhalation drugs differ significantly from other outpatient drugs that are self- administered because they require an array of professional and administrative services, including delivery, education, oversight, and monitoring to ensure that the drug therapy is administered safely and effectively in the home.

  • Pulmonary Function Test
    Preparing for Your Exam: Pulmonary Function Test What is a pulmonary function test? Pulmonary function testing measures how well you are breathing. There are different types of breathing tests that can be done during pulmonary function testing. They include spirometry, lung volumes, and diffusing capacity. Spirometry can show how much air you can breathe in and out. It also shows how fast you can breathe in and out. Lung volumes can provide further information about how your lungs are functioning. Diffusing capacity can show how well your lungs move oxygen from the lungs to the blood. There are also airway challenge tests that assist your doctor in determining the presence or absence of asthma. The results of pulmonary function testing can help your doctor find the best treatment plan for you. How do I prepare for the test? Please follow these directions when getting ready for this test. These medicines will affect the results of some of these tests and need to be stopped before the testing is done. If the medicine is not stopped before the test, we will not be able to complete the test. • Stop these inhaled medicines for 24 hours before your appointment: o Advair® (Serevent® and Flovent®) o Serevent® (Salmeterol) o Foradil® (Formoterol) o Spiriva® (tiotropium) • Stop these inhaled medicines for 6 hours before your appointment: o Atrovent® (Ipatroprium), Combivent® • Stop these inhaled medicines for 4-6 hours before your appointment: o Proventil®, Ventolin® (Albuterol), Xopenex® (Levalbuterol), Maxair® (Pirbuterol), Alupent®, Metaprel® (Metaproterenol), Brethaire®, Brethine® (Terbutaline), Tornalate® (Bitolterol), ist. • Stop these oral medicines for 8 hours before your appointment: o Volmax®, Ventolin®, Proventil®, Proventil Repetabs® (Albuterol), Metaprel® (Metaproterenol), Bricanyl®, Bethaine® (Terbutaline) • Continue to take all other medications as usual.
