Spirometry
Kothiya Hospital Ahmedabad’s Spirometry Service offers advanced pulmonary function testing to evaluate lung function and diagnose respiratory conditions accurately. Spirometry is a non-invasive test that measures the volume and flow of air as it is inhaled and exhaled from the lungs, providing valuable insights into respiratory health.
Our Spirometry Service is conducted by trained respiratory therapists and pulmonologists who use state-of-the-art spirometers to perform comprehensive lung function assessments. The test is quick, painless, and typically involves breathing into a mouthpiece connected to the spirometer while following specific instructions from the healthcare provider.
Spirometry is instrumental in diagnosing and monitoring various respiratory conditions, including:
- Asthma: by assessing airway obstruction and measuring bronchial reactivity.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD): by evaluating lung function and severity of airflow limitation. - Interstitial lung diseases: by detecting restrictive lung patterns and impaired gas exchange.
- Preoperative lung function assessment: to evaluate pulmonary reserve and risk stratification before surgery.
At Kothiya Hospital Ahmedabad, we are dedicated to providing comprehensive respiratory care and accurate diagnostic services. Our Spirometry Service plays a crucial role in identifying respiratory conditions early, guiding treatment decisions, and optimizing patient outcomes.
