Spirometry

Spirometry Test at Health Nest Hospital, Bangalore

Health Nest Hospital in Bangalore offers accurate and reliable spirometry testing to assess lung function and respiratory health. Spirometry is a non-invasive pulmonary function test (PFT) that measures how much air you can inhale and exhale, and how quickly you can breathe out. It is essential for diagnosing and monitoring chronic lung diseases like asthma, COPD, and other breathing disorders.

Performed by experienced respiratory technicians and interpreted by pulmonologists, our spirometry services are ideal for both routine screening and ongoing disease management. The test is quick, safe, and suitable for adults and children above the age of 5.

What Does a Spirometry Test Measure?

• Forced Vital Capacity (FVC): The maximum amount of air exhaled forcefully after a deep breath.
• Forced Expiratory Volume (FEV1): The amount of air exhaled in the first second of the FVC test.
• FEV1/FVC Ratio: Helps diagnose obstructive and restrictive lung conditions.

Who Should Undergo a Spirometry Test?

• Individuals with a chronic cough, wheezing, or shortness of breath
• Smokers or former smokers with respiratory symptoms
• Patients with known asthma, COPD, or interstitial lung disease
