Spirometry Test
Spirometry is a simple, non-invasive breathing test used to measure how much air a person can inhale and exhale, and how quickly air can be expelled from the lungs. It is one of the most important tests for diagnosing and monitoring lung diseases.
At Dr. Raju's Chest Centre & Multispeciality Hospital, we provide accurate and computerized spirometry testing to detect respiratory conditions early and guide effective treatment.
What is Spirometry?
Spirometry is a diagnostic test that evaluates lung function by measuring airflow. During the test, the patient breathes into a device called a spirometer, which records the volume and speed of air inhaled and exhaled.
It helps in identifying obstructive lung diseases like asthma and COPD, as well as restrictive lung disorders.
When is Spirometry Recommended?
Key Measurements in Spirometry
These values help determine whether the lung condition is obstructive or restrictive and assess the severity of the disease.
Procedure & Safety
At Dr. Raju's Chest Centre & Multispeciality Hospital, spirometry is performed by trained technicians under pulmonologist supervision.
The patient may be asked to take deep breaths and blow forcefully into the spirometer for accurate results.
