What is Spirometry Testing?
Spirometry is a lung function test that assesses how well the lungs work by measuring:
The amount of air you can breathe in and out of your lungs, and
How hard and fast you can breathe out
Spirometry is used to help diagnose occupational lung disease, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or emphysema and other conditions that affect breathing.
