慢性阻塞性肺疾病全球倡议（Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease, GOLD）指南主张通过对有 COPD 症状和/或危险因素的患者进行肺量测定，早期发现病例。[1]Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD).

英国指南建议，对所有 35 岁及以上且有慢性咳嗽的当前或既往曾吸烟者进行肺量测定，以在早期阶段发现病例。临床医生还应考虑对所有胸部 X 线检查或胸部计算机体层成像检查发现肺气肿的患者进行肺量测定筛查。[2]National Institute for Health and Care Excellence.
