Abstrakt:	Introduction: To study the quality of spirometry performed in Primary Care in Cantabria (Spain) and the level of compliance with the regulations of this technique of the Spanish Society of Chest Diseases and Thoracic Surgery (SEPAR). Material and Methods: Cross-sectional descriptive study in the Community of Cantabria using an original questionnaire based on the latest SEPAR regulations. The questionnaire was distributed in 2018 by internal mail to the 42 Primary Care Centres of the Cantabrian Health Service, with the coordinators of the PCC and the nurses responsible having been personally contacted by the researchers or by telephone. This is an original survey, based on the regulations of the SEPAR, which evaluates the quality of the material used (model, years of operation, calibration, cleanliness), as well as the training of personnel who perform spirometry. Results: The health personnel responsible for performing spirometry were surveyed in the 42 Primary Care Centres of the Cantabrian Health Service throughout the Cantabrian area. A mean of 564 spirometries are performed per month. A significant number (13%) of spirometers are never calibrated, and only 10.5% of the spirometers are calibrated by the personnel who perform the test in the centre itself. More than half (54, 53.7%) of these professionals have never received specific training to perform spirometry, and only 3.8% of them have experience in performing the test as recommended by SEPAR. As for the cleaning of the devices, 30% of the technicians do not clean the spirometer or the adapter. Conclusions: 10 years after our initial study lack of training is still being observed in the professionals, and probably translates into invalid spirometry.
