Gestión de riesgos en la realización de pruebas de función pulmonar pospandemia by Luis Puente Maestu, Juana M. Martínez Llorens, José Luis Valera Felices, Yolanda Torralba García, Marian Gimeno Peribáñez, Eusebi Chiner, Roberto Cabestre, Juan Rodríguez Hermosa, Raúl Godoy Mayoral, Celeste Marcos, Ana Balaña Corberó, Carlos Almonacid

“…A ministerial order issued by the Ministry of Health is mentioned, which lifts the mandatory use of facemasks in certain settings, in alignment with the strategy to return to normalcy.The proposal provides an in-depth analysis of the infectious risk to healthcare workers and patients in pulmonary function laboratories, concluding that current practices —along with the use of surgical masks and viral filters— minimize the generation and transmission of infectious aerosols.Detailed recommendations are provided for risk management, including architectural controls, administrative measures, hygiene practices, and personal protective protocols, with the goal of safeguarding both healthcare professionals and patients.The cited bibliography reinforces the scientific evidence base underlying the proposed recommendations and demonstrates a careful and deliberate approach to the safe and efficient reintroduction of spirometry and other pulmonary function tests into routine healthcare.…”
