Pulmonary function testing is usually done by a specially trained respiratory therapist or technician. For most pulmonary function tests, you will be asked to wear a nose clip to make sure that no air passes through your nose during the test. You will be asked to breathe into a mouthpiece that is connected to a machine called a spirometer. The technician may encourage you to breathe deeply during parts of the test to get the best results. Following all of the technician's instructions will help provide the most accurate results.
