Spirometry

Spirometry is a fundamental lung function test that measures airflow and lung capacity, helping specialists understand how effectively your lungs move air in and out. During the test, you will be asked to take a deep breath and exhale forcefully into a device, allowing clinicians to analyse important respiratory markers such as FEV₁, FVC, and flow rates.

This assessment is often the first-line investigation for anyone experiencing persistent cough, shortness of breath, wheezing, or chest tightness. It assists in diagnosing conditions early, monitoring disease progression, and evaluating how well current treatments are working.
