Spirometry Test
About the Procedure
A non-invasive test that measures how well your lungs work, including the amount of air you can inhale and exhale and how quickly. It helps assess breathing and detect conditions like asthma, COPD, or other lung disorders.
Eligibility
- To evaluate symptoms such as shortness of breath, chronic cough, or wheezing.
- To monitor lung function in chronic respiratory conditions or before surgery.
Care During the Procedure
- The patient breathes into a spirometer, a device that records airflow and lung volume.
- Various maneuvers, like deep inhalation and forceful exhalation, are performed to measure lung capacity and airflow.
Care After the Procedure
- Spirometry is safe and non-invasive, requiring no recovery time.
- Normal activities can be resumed immediately after the test.
- Follow-up may include reviewing results and adjusting treatment as advised by the doctor.
