Spirometry Lung Function

A simple, non-invasive test to identify your lung function and detect pulmonary diseases such as asthma and other chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD). During the test, you’ll breathe deeply and forcefully into a mouthpiece connected to a spirometer, which records the volume of air being inspired and expired. We will report your forced vital capacity (FVC), which identifies the total amount of air that can be inspired and expired by your lungs and capture the maximal volume of air you can exhale in one-second (FEV1). Data collected will be compared to age, sex and height normative values and explained to you in a comprehensive written report. The test may also be performed both before and after the administration of your prescribed bronchodilator to detect the level of improvement achieved through current medication use.
