A spirometry pulmonary function test is a common diagnostic procedure used to assess how well your lungs work by measuring the volume and speed of air you can inhale and exhale. During the test, you breathe into a mouthpiece connected to a spirometer, which records metrics such as forced vital capacity (FVC) and forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1). It is often used to diagnose and monitor conditions like asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and other respiratory disorders.
