Pulmonary function testing, also known as spirometry, is a test used to screen, diagnose, and monitor respiratory diseases such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and restrictive lung disease.

Pulmonary function tests are a way to measure how well you breathe in and out of your lungs, and how much oxygen is getting into your body. The most common respiratory function tests are spirometry, diffusion studies, and plethysmography. So what do the respiratory function tests mean?

To accurately assess the condition of the lungs or monitor the response to treatment in patients, doctors often use respiratory function measurements. This is one of the methods that uses a machine to measure the flow of air when the patient inhales and exhales to calculate many important lung function indicators.

Measuring pulmonary ventilation function by spirometry is a non-invasive method of examining pulmonary function. This technique aims to evaluate the respiratory function of the lungs, thereby detecting some disorders or diseases in the lungs, assessing the severity of the disease and the response to treatment with drugs.
