Spirometry is a type of pulmonary function test that is used to measure and evaluate the function of the lungs for a variety of purposes. Spirometry is indicated in a variety of situations but is not ...

Doctors use a combination of methods, including reviewing medical history and spirometry, to diagnose COPD and assess lung damage. Blood tests and genetic testing can help determine the severity and ...

Despite these benefits, most physicians in clinical practice rely only on history and clinical examination to make a diagnosis of OAD and to start pharmacotherapy. 4 This approach leads to both ...

A spirometry is a pulmonary function test that measures how much air a person breathes out, and how quickly. Pulmonary function tests measure how well the lungs are working. It is an office-based ...
