In this teaching session for medical students preparing for their final ISCE exam, the focus will be on data interpretation for spirometry and lung function tests. Participants will learn how to analyze and interpret results from these assessments, emphasizing the identification of key findings, understanding relevant parameters such as FEV1, FVC, and the FEV1/FVC ratio, and correlating results with clinical scenarios. The session will cover common respiratory conditions associated with abnormal findings, facilitating a comprehensive understanding of pulmonary pathophysiology. Through interactive discussions and case studies, students will enhance their diagnostic skills and clinical reasoning. The session will conclude with a summary of important concepts and a Q&A segment to address any questions from participants.

Learning objectives
- Understand the fundamental principles of spirometry and lung function tests, including key measurements like Forced Expiratory Volume in one second (FEV1), Forced Vital Capacity (FVC), and the FEV1/FVC ratio.
- Analyze and interpret data from spirometry and lung function tests accurately, identifying critical findings and understanding their clinical implications.
- Diagnose common respiratory conditions by correlating patient symptoms and clinical scenarios with abnormalities found in spirometry and lung function tests.
- Apply knowledge of pulmonary pathophysiology in interpreting test results, aiding in the development of a comprehensive treatment plan.
- Participate in interactive discussions and case studies to enhance diagnostic skills, clinical reasoning, and patient management strategies with respect to respiratory conditions.
