Spirometry

Spirometry Services at Dr. KNS Memorial Hospital

Dr. KNS Memorial Hospital offers Spirometry services as a vital tool for assessing lung function and diagnosing respiratory conditions. Spirometry is a non-invasive pulmonary function test that measures the volume and flow of air exhaled from the lungs, providing valuable insights into lung health and function.

State-of-the-Art Spirometry Technology

Our hospital is equipped with state-of-the-art spirometry equipment, including handheld spirometers and computerized pulmonary function testing (PFT) systems. These devices allow our experienced respiratory therapists to perform accurate and reliable spirometry tests, helping to diagnose and monitor a wide range of respiratory conditions.

Indications for Spirometry

Spirometry may be recommended for patients experiencing symptoms such as:

  • Shortness of breath
  • Wheezing
  • Chronic cough
  • Chest tightness or discomfort
  • Difficulty breathing during physical activity
  • Monitoring of lung function in patients with asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), interstitial lung disease, or other respiratory conditions

Comprehensive Lung Function Assessment

Spirometry measures several key parameters of lung function, including:

  • Forced vital capacity (FVC): the maximum volume of air forcefully exhaled after a deep breath
  • Forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1): the volume of air forcibly exhaled in the first second of the FVC maneuver
  • FEV1/FVC ratio: the ratio of FEV1 to FVC, which helps assess airflow obstruction
  • Peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR): the maximum airflow rate achieved during forced exhalation

These measurements provide valuable information about lung volume, capacity, airflow, and obstruction, helping our pulmonologists diagnose respiratory conditions and develop individualized treatment plans.

Minimally Invasive Procedure

Spirometry is a quick, painless, and non-invasive procedure that can be performed in an outpatient setting. During the test, patients breathe into a mouthpiece connected to the spirometer while sitting or standing comfortably. The spirometer measures the volume and flow of air exhaled from the lungs, producing a series of graphical and numerical results that are analyzed by our pulmonologists.

Comprehensive Diagnostic Evaluation

Spirometry provides valuable diagnostic information to aid in the diagnosis and management of respiratory conditions. By evaluating lung function, our pulmonologists can assess disease severity, monitor disease progression, and guide treatment decisions to optimize patient outcomes.

Patient-Centered Care

At Dr. KNS Memorial Hospital, we prioritize patient-centered care in everything we do. Our team of pulmonologists, respiratory therapists, and support staff are dedicated to providing compassionate and personalized care to every patient undergoing spirometry. We strive to ensure that patients feel comfortable, informed, and supported throughout the testing process.
