what is a
spirometry test?
A spirometer test is a simple yet powerful diagnostic test that measures how well your lungs are functioning. It assesses the amount of air you can inhale, and exhale, and how quickly you can do so. It helps to measure your lung volume.
This non-invasive test provides valuable insights into your lung health, helping our physicians detect conditions like asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and other respiratory issues.
what does a spirometer
test measure?
A Spirometer Test measures several key parameters:
Forced Vital
Capacity (FVC)
The maximum amount of air you can exhale forcefully after inhaling deeply.
Forced Expiratory
Volume in 1 second (FEV1)
The amount of air you can exhale forcefully in one second.
FEV1/FVC Ratio
This ratio helps assess airflow obstruction.
who is a candidate for
a spirometer test?
If you’re experiencing symptoms like shortness of breath, wheezing, and coughing, or if you have a history of smoking, exposure to lung irritants, or a family history of respiratory conditions, you could benefit from a Spirometry Test.
Additionally, individuals with existing respiratory conditions like asthma, restrictive lung disease, obstructive lung disease, or COPD may also require regular Spirometry testing to monitor their lung function.
