Introduction. Forced spirometry evaluates respiratory mechanics according to the 2019 American Thoracic Society and European Respiratory Society criteria. The quality of the test depends on the evaluation of the curves obtained according to acceptability and repeatability, in addition to environmental factors such as altitude above sea level. Objective. To determine the quality of forced spirometry tests in a healthy adult population at 2,700 meters above sea level. Materials and methods. We conducted a prospective quantitative cohort study on reference values for forced spirometry in a healthy population at 2,700 meters above sea level. Test quality was evaluated using acceptability and repeatability criteria. Based on a prospective quantitative cohort study of forced spirometry reference values in a healthy respiratory population at 2,700 meters above sea level, the quality of the tests was evaluated considering the acceptability and repeatability criteria. Results. We performed 417 forced spirometry tests in a healthy adult population at 2,700 meters above sea level, 81% of which fulfilled the quality criteria. A greater proportion of tests did not meet the acceptability criteria, specifically, “the good start†item due to a time higher than 150 ms to achieve the peak expiratory flow; followed by artifacts such as glottic closure, the most frequent; and “the good end†criterion due to an early termination of exhalation. Conclusions. As the sessions progressed, the quality of the forced spirometry tests was optimized, a condition favored by the improvement of the technique and continuous training of the professionals.

Introducción. La espirometría forzada es una prueba para evaluar la mecánica respiratoria según los criterios de la American Thoracic Society y la European Respiratory Society en su actualización del 2019. La calidad de la prueba depende de la aceptabilidad y repetibilidad de las curvas obtenidas, además de factores ambientales, como la altura sobre el nivel del mar. Objetivo. Determinar la calidad de las pruebas de espirometría forzada en adultos sanos practicadas a 2.700 msnm. Materiales y métodos. Se llevó a cabo un estudio prospectivo y cuantitativo de cohorte sobre los valores de referencia de la espirometría forzada a 2.700 msnm de una población sana. Se evaluó la calidad de las pruebas mediante los criterios de aceptabilidad y repetibilidad. Resultados. Se evaluaron 417 espirometrías forzadas en adultos sanos, practicadas a 2.700 msnm. El 81 % de las pruebas cumplió los criterios de calidad. Se encontró mayor incumplimiento en los criterios de aceptabilidad, específicamente, en el “buen inicio†de la maniobra, en el cual el tiempo para alcanzar el pico de flujo espiratorio fue mayor de 150 ms, seguido por la presencia de artefactos, principalmente el cierre glótico, y en el de “buen final†debido a la terminación temprana de la espiración. Conclusiones. A medida que avanzaron las sesiones, se optimizó la calidad de las espirometrías forzadas, favorecida por el perfeccionamiento de la técnica y la capacitación continua de los profesionales.
