What is spirometry and what is it used for?
Spirometry is the gold-standard respiratory function test. It measures the volumes and airflows that the lungs can mobilize, obtaining key parameters such as FVC (forced vital capacity) and FEV1 (forced expiratory volume in the first second). The FEV1/FVC ratio allows lung function to be classified as normal, obstructive, or restrictive, guiding the diagnosis of asthma, COPD, chronic bronchitis, emphysema, and other chronic respiratory diseases. It is essential in preoperative evaluations for thoracic surgeries, occupational health examinations, monitoring of respiratory treatments, and any case of chronic cough or unexplained exertional dyspnea.
Advantages of spirometry
- •Objective and precise diagnosis: Spirometric values allow accurate classification of the type and severity of pulmonary impairment
- •Non-invasive, radiation-free: Only requires blowing into a mouthpiece, with no needles or contrast agents
- •Treatment monitoring: Allows tracking the progression of asthma and COPD over time
How is it performed?
- •Preparation and instructions: Weight and height are recorded and the spirometer is calibrated (5 min)
- •Forced expiratory maneuver: The patient blows with maximum force for at least 6 seconds (5-10 min)
- •Repetition for reproducibility: At least 3 acceptable maneuvers according to ATS/ERS criteria (10 min)
- •Bronchodilator test: If indicated, salbutamol is administered and spirometry is repeated (20 min)
- •Pulmonologist report: Functional interpretation and diagnosis on the same day
