Pediatricians play a critical role in diagnosing and managing asthma and other pulmonary conditions in children. Pulmonary function testing is an essential tool for identifying respiratory disease, assessing disease severity, and monitoring response to treatment. This webinar will review the components of pulmonary function and exercise testing, including when specific tests are indicated and how results can inform clinical decision-making. Participants will gain practical insight into how pulmonary function data can support timely diagnosis, guide management strategies, and improve care for pediatric patients with respiratory conditions.
