Spirometry is a simple test performed by our nurse here at Clinica Britannia and is used to assess how well your lungs work.  Medical specialists order this test for their patients to diagnose asthma, allergies, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and other lung conditions such as emphysema, chronic bronchitis and Pulmonary Fibrosis that affect the breathing.

The test works by measuring airflow into and out of your lungs. To take the test you must sit and breathe into a small machine called a spirometer. This medical device records and measures the amount of air you breathe in and out and the speed of your breath[:ru][:es][:fr][:de][:]
