| Popis: | Cardiopulmonary exercise testing is a technically demanding procedure. Most current testing systems are self-contained and can be configured to allow relatively little operator interface during the procedure. Internal quality control procedures are convenient but limited. In a busy laboratory, one can rely too heavily on the internal quality control software and not critically evaluate the actual data. In this paper, we will discuss potential errors in exercise testing and offer suggestions to avoid them. Because manufacturers are continually introducing new models and improving old ones, we have not compared specific exercise testing systems. We advise laboratory directors and technical personnel to schedule time for regular routine quality control checks and evaluation of the quality of exercise testing data. |
