What is Spirometry: Key to Lung Disease Diagnosis about?
1) Spirometry is a noninvasive test that measures lung volumes and airflow by having patients forcefully exhale and inhale into a mouthpiece. It is useful for diagnosing respiratory diseases. 2) Key measurements include forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), and their ratio (FEV1/FVC). A low ratio indicates airflow obstruction. 3) The flow-volume curve generated provides additional information on small airway function and respiratory muscle strength. Spirometry plays a
