What is Understanding Spirometry and Lung Function about?
Spirometry measures lung function by determining the volume and speed of air inhaled and exhaled using an instrument called a spirometer. It is used to diagnose and monitor lung diseases like asthma and COPD. Key metrics include FEV1, FVC, and their ratio. Obstructive lung diseases reduce airflow while restrictive diseases reduce total lung volume. Spirometry helps differentiate these and assess response to treatment.
