Spirometry Services
Breathing is a subconscious act that we rarely think about—until it becomes difficult. When you experience chronic wheezing, a persistent cough, or a sudden shortness of breath after minimal physical exertion, it is a clear signal that your lungs may not be functioning at their full capacity.
To properly treat a respiratory issue, doctors need to know exactly how much air your lungs can hold and how efficiently you can move that air in and out.
At IPIMS Hospital, Panipat, our advanced Diagnostic Pulmonology Department provides state-of-the-art Spirometry testing. As the gold standard for evaluating lung health, this quick, painless, and highly accurate test provides our respiratory specialists with the critical data needed to diagnose conditions like asthma and COPD, allowing us to map out a treatment plan that helps you breathe freely again.
What is Spirometry?
Spirometry (often referred to as a Pulmonary Function Test, or PFT) is the most common and widely used diagnostic test to assess how well your lungs work.
The test is completely non-invasive. You simply take a very deep breath in and then blow out as hard and as fast as you can into a tube connected to a specialized machine called a spirometer. The machine measures two key factors:
- Volume: The total amount of air you are able to hold and exhale from your lungs (Forced Vital Capacity or FVC).
- Flow: How fast you can force the air out of your lungs in the first second of exhaling (Forced Expiratory Volume or FEV1).
By comparing these measurements against standard values for your age, height, and gender, our pulmonologists can instantly detect if your airways are narrowed, blocked, or restricted.
When is this Procedure Used? (Common Indications)
A physical exam and a stethoscope can only tell a doctor so much. Your physician or pulmonologist will order a spirometry test when they need objective, measurable data regarding your respiratory health. It is commonly used in the following scenarios:
- Diagnosing Asthma & COPD: To officially diagnose chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, or chronic bronchitis in patients experiencing wheezing, breathlessness, or chronic cough.
- Monitoring Chronic Lung Disease: If you have already been diagnosed with a lung condition, routine spirometry tracks whether your lung function is improving, stable, or declining over time.
- Evaluating Medications: To check if your current inhalers or prescribed breathing treatments are actually working to open up your airways.
- Pre-Surgical Clearance: To ensure your lungs are strong enough to safely handle general anesthesia and the physical stress of a major surgery.
- Occupational Health Screening: To assess lung damage in individuals exposed to hazardous dust, chemicals, or smoke in their workplace.
Key Diagnostic Spirometry Services We Offer
Our pulmonary diagnostics lab provides accurate lung function testing to assess breathing capacity and detect respiratory conditions early.
Baseline Standard Spirometry
This essential test measures lung capacity and airflow, helping identify early signs of airway obstruction or restriction.
Post-Bronchodilator Reversibility Testing
After initial testing, a bronchodilator may be administered to assess improvement in airflow, aiding in distinguishing conditions like asthma from other chronic lung diseases.
Pre-Operative Pulmonary Assessment
Comprehensive lung function evaluation is performed before major surgeries to assess risk and support better post-operative respiratory care.
