Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: Open Access

The diagnosis of chronic pulmonary disease is done through spirometry . It is one of the lung function test carried out to monitor the function of lungs. Spirometer is the device used for the test.

Normal readings vary, depending on your age, size, and sex. The range of normal readings is published on a chart, and doctors and nurses refer to this chart when they check your spirometry readings. Although spirometry shows the type, pattern and severity of lung disease, it does not give an indication of the long-term outlook (prognosis) or of your quality of life.
