To determine the validity of Spirometry tests done in primary care in our province and to find in what parts of the test errors are committed. ⋯ Quality of spirometry tests in primary care is deficient. The most common error is that exhalation is too brief. We think this is why we find a predominance of restrictive patterns over obstructive ones. Just by prolonging the spirometry operation, we would manage to increase markedly the number of valid tests.
