What is Spirometry?

Spirometry is a simple, painless, and reliable test used to assess lung function. It measures how much air the lungs can take in and how quickly air can be exhaled during breathing.

When is spirometry performed?
- In cases of persistent cough
- When experiencing shortness of breath
- In the presence of wheezing
- For the diagnosis and monitoring of lung diseases such as asthma and COPD
- To assess the effectiveness of treatment

How is the examination performed?
The patient takes a deep breath and then exhales forcefully through the mouthpiece of a specialized device, following the healthcare professional’s instructions. The examination takes only a few minutes and is painless.

Early diagnosis helps initiate appropriate treatment and protect respiratory health.
