He could really use a flu shot, a pneumonia vaccine and a breathing test called spirometry to help us better manage his asthma. ❋ Unknown (2007)
The simplest way to diagnose COPD is through spirometry, which is usually available in general practitioners 'surgeries. ❋ Unknown (2009)
Along with inquiring about symptoms and listening to your breathing, the doctor may perform a lung function test called spirometry, which measures how much air you can exhale after taking a deep breath, and how fast you can do it. ❋ Unknown (2008)
Lung function tests, such as spirometry and measuring lung volumes ❋ Unknown (2010)
In this setting, risk assessment tools that identify those at greatest risk, such as spirometry (a puff test to measure lung function) and genetic susceptibility testing, appear to help engage smokers and improve their smoking cessation rates. ❋ Unknown (2010)
This provides a more objective measurement than other pulmonary function tests such as spirometry, which requires patients to exhale forcefully into a tube. ❋ Unknown (2010)
The most common test that our respiratory therapists conduct is spirometry. ❋ Unknown (2010)
Pulmonary function tests in older children includes spirometry, whole body plethysmography, single and multiple breath nitrogen washout, carbon monoxide diffusion capacity, respiratory muscle strength and lung compliance. ❋ Unknown (2010)
In the Pulmonary Function Lab you will meet one of the respiratory therapists who will explain the spirometry procedure to you and your child. ❋ Unknown (2010)
During the appointment, we will conduct another spirometry breathing test and compare the results to the testing done at the last visit so we can see how your child is doing. ❋ Unknown (2010)

Once you have registered, you will meet the nurse who will measure your child's height and weight, check her heart and breathing rate, measure her oxygen saturation level with a finger probe and escort you and your child to the Pulmonary Function Lab for the spirometry breathing test (if your child is age 6 or older) or to an exam room. ❋ Unknown (2010)
I was glad to see that mention was made of the problem of overestimating the degree of impairment using spirometry in elderly patients, particularly if one uses the percent predicted methods. ❋ James Gaulte (2007)
Your referral should specify the visit type and whether any testing or laboratory work (skin testing, spirometry, X-rays, blood tests) can be done at the time. ❋ Unknown (2004)
Your referral should be specific for what that visit will involve, such as skin testing, spirometry, allergy extract and injection. ❋ Unknown (2004)
This is called “incentive spirometry” and is essential for clearing secretions from your lungs and windpipe. ❋ Elizabeth Ross (1996)
