Gloassary term:

Spirometry

Spirometry is a pulmonary function test measuring the volume and flow of air inhaled and exhaled, assessing lung function objectively. It is essential for diagnosing and monitoring respiratory conditions like asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Abnormal spirometry patterns can indicate airway obstruction or restriction, guiding treatment decisions.
