it pushed a pen attached to graph paper, creating a graph which could be read after the test was over. A variety of other pressure-sensitive devices can be used for spirometry today, although the water-based method is still used

13 Unfortunately, these tools have the drawback of requiring tests (eg, spirometry, allergy skin tests, and blood tests) that limit their utility and implementation.6,8-10,14,15 In this study, we show that the inclusion of eosinophilic measures and skin prick tests did not improve ...
In particular, the free oxygen radical test (FORT) and the free oxygen radical defense (FORD) were performed. The former test measures the levels of circulating oxygen, free radicals, and the second one indirectly determines the organisms’ antioxidant capacity by measuring the concentration of ...
Spirometry can be reproducibly done from the age of 5 years but these values should be interpreted with individual considering age, sex, height and nutritional status7.Spirometry measures the volume of air exhaled from the lungs during a maximal expiratory manoeuvre. The forced vital capacity is ...
Severe patients defined as those using relief bronchodilating medications more than three times per day or using nebulised bronchodilators or long-term oxygen therapy as well as participants unable to perform a satisfactory spirometry test were excluded from the study. An attempt was made to select ...
We dichotomized spirometry measures as impaired, based on the values predicted for children residing in northeastern China (Ma et al. 2013): lung function as FVC < 85% of reference (FVC < 85%), FEV1 < 85% of reference (FEV1 < 85%), maximum mid expiratory flow < 75% of reference (...
Almost half of the RECODE patients (53%) have a registered smoking status; however, a standard spirometry test in the last year was less common, with only (12%) of the patients receiving spirometry. Table 4 Description of current level of care of included GP practices: distribution of the ...

Spirometry is the main test for COPD. It measures how much air you can move in and out of your lungs, and how quickly you do it. You take a deep breath and blow as hard as you can into a tube. You might repeat the test after inhaling a puff of a bronchodilator medicine, which ...
