Your essential guide to respiratory diagnostic testing from FeNO and spirometry to CRP Point of Care Testing.
FENO testing
In this article published in Primary Care Respiratory Update (Oct 2015) Carol Stonham describes the use of FENO testing for diagnosing and monitoring asthma. There is also a slide set presented by Carol Stonham on FeNo at the PCRS Respiratory Conference 2018 to complement the article.

Essential Guide to Spirometry
In this article for the Spring 2019 issue of Primary Care Respiratory Update we provide an updated summary of PCRS advice on spirometry, it's use in primary care and how to get trained and certified in performing and/or interpreting the tests. Visit our webpages on spriometry for more information and resources.
