What is spirometry used for?
Spirometry is used to diagnose and monitor lung diseases, assess pulmonary function, and support occupational health screenings. Spirometry helps healthcare providers to:
- Diagnose respiratory conditions like COPD and asthma
- Monitor disease progression and treatment effectiveness in patients with chronic lung conditions
- Evaluate lung function in workplace health programs, particularly for individuals exposed to dust, chemicals, or other respiratory hazards
By using a diagnostic spirometer, medical professionals can detect lung diseases early, track changes over time, and ensure workplace safety.
