Learning objectives

  • Highlight the importance of regular lung function monitoring and the consequences of lung function decline in children with asthma
  • Examine the variability of spirometry values in children and the value of using standardized reference equations and z-scores in assessing lung function
  • Discuss the disconnect sometimes seen between normal spirometry values and exacerbations/symptomatic burden
  • Explore the utility of available practical techniques to measure small airway dysfunction in pediatric asthma patients
