How long does a spirometry test take?
A spirometry test typically takes 10 to 15 minutes, depending on the patient’s ability to follow instructions and complete the required breathing maneuvers. The test involves taking a deep breath and forcefully exhaling into a spirometry device multiple times to achieve accurate results.
Healthcare providers may repeat the test after administering a bronchodilator to assess lung function improvement. Proper coaching and technique are essential for reliable measurements.
