According to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America, Asthma is a leading cause for chronic absenteeism, which is defined as missing 10 percent or more of school days for any reason, excused or unexcused. It detracts from learning and is a proven early warning sign of academic risk. This affects young children in particular ways that can shape academic outcomes for their entire school career. Below are our best solutions to diagnose asthma and keep students in class.

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, or COPD, is a major problem around the world. But as with many other conditions, the true extent of the problem is not entirely understood. Here in the United States, approximately $50 billion is spent on COPD annually, between the direct costs of healthcare delivery and the indirect costs that the economy endures as a result, like lost productivity and absenteeism. Some 15 million or so people have been formally diagnosed with COPD, and it is fourth-leading cause of death in America.

With spirometry, you can easily establish baseline airflow status for every patient, even those potentially at risk for a chronic respiratory condition (including your COVID-19 population).

What Can a Spirometer Detect in Your Patients?

This information from a spirometry machine is used to diagnose a range of respiratory conditions, such as:

  • Asthma
  • Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
  • Pulmonary fibrosis

It can also be used to monitor the progression of these conditions over time and to assess the effectiveness of treatment.


How to Prepare Patients for a Spirometry Test

  • Explain the test: Make sure your patient understands what a spirometry test is, why it is being done, and what to expect during the test.
  • Provide instructions: Provide your patient with clear instructions on how to perform the test, including how to position themselves, how to breathe in and out, and how to blow into the device. You can demonstrate the proper technique and have them practice a few times before the test.
  • Medications: Advise your patients to follow their medication regimen as usual unless instructed otherwise by you. Depending on the condition you are testing for, you may ask your patient to avoid taking certain medications before the test.
  • Food and drink: Advise your patients to avoid eating a heavy meal or drinking alcohol for several hours before the test, as this can affect the results.
  • Clothing: Ask your patient to wear loose-fitting clothing that allows for easy movement of the chest and waist.
  • Anxiety: Explain to your patient that anxiety or stress can affect the results of the test. Therefore, it is important to stay calm and relaxed during the test.
  • Expectations: Lastly, set realistic expectations with your patient regarding the test results. Let them know that the test is not painful, and that the results may help you determine the appropriate diagnosis and treatment plan for their condition.

Common Questions That Patients May Ask About Spirometry

As a doctor, you know that spirometry is a valuable tool for diagnosing and monitoring lung diseases. However, you may also be aware that patients often have questions about the test. This section will provide you with some common questions that patients may ask, as well as answers to those questions. This will help you to prepare for these questions and provide your patients with the information they need.

What is a Spirometry?

Spirometry is a test that measures how well the lungs work. It is a non-invasive test that can be used to diagnose and monitor a variety of lung diseases, including asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and interstitial lung disease.

During a spirometry test, the patient breathes into a mouthpiece connected to a machine called a spirometer. The spirometer will measure the amount of air a patient can breathe in and out, as well as the speed of breath.

The results of a spirometry test can help doctors to determine the severity of lung disease and to track progress over time. Spirometry can also be used to diagnose asthma, COPD, and other lung diseases.

What are the Benefits of Spirometry?

Spirometry is a safe and painless test that can provide valuable information about lung health. The benefits of spirometry include:

  • The ability to diagnose and monitor lung diseases
  • The ability to assess the severity of lung disease
  • The ability to track the progress of lung disease over time
  • The ability to help doctors make treatment decisions

What are the Risks of Spirometry?

There are no significant risks associated with spirometry. However, some people may experience mild side effects, such as coughing or shortness of breath.

Is there Discomfort or Pain During Spirometry?

No, there is no pain or discomfort during spirometry. The test is non-invasive and does not involve any needles or other medical procedures. However, some patients may experience mild side effects, such as coughing or shortness of breath. These side effects are usually mild and go away on their own.

How Long Does a Spirometry Take

Spirometry can take up to 30 minutes. This is usually because the technician may need to repeat the test several times in order to get accurate results. However, in most cases, spirometry should only take about 10 minutes to complete.

Here are some factors that can affect the length of a spirometry test:

  • The complexity of the test: If the technician needs to do additional tests, such as a bronchodilator challenge test, the test may take longer.
  • The patient's cooperation: If the patient is not able to cooperate with the test, it may take longer to complete.
  • The patient's lung health: If the patient has a severe lung disease, the test may take longer to complete.

What are Spirometry Test Results?

The results of a spirometry test are typically reported in a few different ways. The most common measurements are:

  • Forced vital capacity (FVC): The total amount of air the lungs can breathe out after taking a deep breath.
  • Forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1): The amount of air lungs can breathe out in the first second of a forced exhalation.
  • FEV1/FVC ratio: The ratio of FEV1 to FVC. This ratio is a good measure of how the lungs are able to empty.

Other measurements that may be reported include:

  • Peak expiratory flow (PEF): The fastest speed at which the patient can exhale.
  • Residual volume (RV): The amount of air that remains in the lungs after the patients has exhaled as much as possible.
  • Total lung capacity (TLC): The total amount of air the lungs can hold.

The results of your spirometry test will be compared to normal values for people close to the patients age, gender, and height.
