What does the spirometry test do?
The test produces a recording of the patient's ventilation under conditions involving both normal and maximal effort. The recording, called a spirogram, shows the volume of air moved and the rate at which it travels into and out of the lungs.
What is normal in a spirometry test?
Normal results in a spirometry test typically indicate that the lungs are functioning effectively, with measurements falling within the expected range for a person's age, gender, height, and ethnicity. Key parameters assessed include Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) and Forced Expiratory Volume in one second (FEV1), where a normal FEV1/FVC ratio is generally above 70%. Normal spirometry results suggest that there is no significant obstruction or restriction in airflow. Any deviations from these norms may indicate respiratory issues that require further evaluation.
What is spirometry limitations?
Spirometry has several limitations, including its dependence on patient effort and technique, which can lead to variability in results if not performed correctly. It may not accurately capture lung function in individuals with certain conditions, such as restrictive lung diseases, where lung volumes may not be fully assessed. Additionally, spirometry cannot diagnose all respiratory conditions, as it primarily measures airflow and does not provide information on gas exchange or lung mechanics. Lastly, factors like age, sex, height, and ethnicity can influence normal values, potentially leading to misinterpretation of results.

What is the difference between an anxious patient heart beat and a calm patient?

What is the diagnosis of asthma?
Asthma is a disease in which a person has difficulties in breathing or shortage of breath and cough along with wheezing. This can cause a person to have difficulty executing his daily life functionalities. So, the diagnosis of this disease is very important, and it includes several steps.The first step includes the physical examination which consists of checking the symptoms and family background history. As per examination the doctor can ask for the following tests:1. Lung Pulmonary test: This test is done to analyze the air quantity that moves in and out at the time of respiration.2. Spirometry: This is done to get an idea about the narrowing of bronchial tube by detecting how much quantity of air is moves out at time of patient's breathing and the speed of patient's breath.3. Peak Flow: This meter is used to observe how hard patient breath-out. And if peak flow label got lower than normal range then it is provide the signs that lung of the patient is not working in good condition and Asthma is going to be at it's worse.4. Lung Function Test: This test is done to recognize that is patient's lung function is improved or not after and before having a bronchodilator? If it improved then the patient has Asthma.5. Nitric Oxide Test: this is done to check the quantity of nitric oxide gases of Patient that he have in his breath. If it is at label then it means patient have Asthma.6. Imagine Test: this test consist ST scan of lungs, nasal sinuses and chest x-ray to find out the infections which are causing Asthma worse.7. Sputum Test: Sputum test is done to analyze the certain type of white blood cells.
