Spirometry (meaning the measuring of breath) is the most common of the pulmonary function tests (PFTs). It measures lung function, specifically the amount...

impaired gas exchange and an overall insufficiency in lung strength. Spirometry includes tests of pulmonary mechanics – measurements of FVC, FEV1, FEF...

In conjunction with breathing exercises and early mobility, incentive spirometry use is therefore beneficial for patients recovering from pneumonia or...

Community for Coal and Steel (ECCS) first recommended guidelines for spirometry. The organization then published predicted values for parameters such...

cooking and heating. The diagnosis is based on poor airflow as measured by spirometry. Most cases of COPD can be prevented by reducing exposure to risk factors...

flow meter can record variations in the severity of asthma over time. Spirometry, a measurement of lung function, can provide an assessment of the severity...

based on the pattern of symptoms, response to therapy over time, and spirometry lung function testing. Asthma is classified according to the frequency...

bronchoconstriction. The degree of narrowing can then be quantified by spirometry. People with pre-existing airway hyperreactivity, such as asthmatics,...
