Pulmonary Function Testing
Pulmonary function testing, also known as spirometry, is a diagnostic tool used to measure the function of the lungs. It is commonly used to diagnose and monitor lung conditions such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and interstitial lung disease.
During the test, a patient is asked to breathe into a device called a spirometer, which measures the amount of air they can inhale and exhale, as well as the speed of their breath. The results of the test are then analyzed to assess lung function and identify any abnormalities.
Pulmonary function testing is a non-invasive and painless procedure that can be performed in a doctor’s office or a hospital. It is typically ordered by a physician as part of a regular check-up or as part of an evaluation for a respiratory condition.
