SPIROMETRY
This test is used to evaluate how well your lungs work by measuring how much air you inhale, how much you exhale and how quickly you exhale. Your doctor may suggest a spirometry test if he or she suspects your signs or symptoms may be caused by a chronic lung condition such as:
- Asthma
- COPD
- Chronic bronchitis
- Emphysema
- Pulmonary fibrosis
If you've already been diagnosed with a chronic lung disorder, spirometry may be used periodically to check how well your medications are working and whether your breathing problems are under control.
TEST DURATION:
TEST PROCEDURE:
A spirometry test requires you to breathe into a tube attached to a machine called a spirometer. Before you do the test our trained technician will give you specific instructions. Listen carefully and ask questions if something is not clear. Doing the test correctly is necessary for accurate and meaningful results.
