Lung Function Assessment
Lung Function Assessment is a medical evaluation that measures how well the lungs are working. It typically involves tests like spirometry, which assesses the amount of air a person can inhale and exhale, and how quickly they can do so. These tests help identify conditions such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and other respiratory issues.
The results from a lung function assessment can guide healthcare providers in diagnosing lung diseases and determining the best treatment options. Regular assessments are important for monitoring lung health, especially for individuals with known respiratory conditions or those at risk due to factors like smoking or environmental exposure.
