Spirometry / Flow Volume Loops Pre & Post Bronchodilator
Spirometry Testing
Spirometry is one of the most important lung function tests we perform at ERSA. It measures how well your lungs are working by testing how much air you can breathe out, and how quickly you can exhale. This test helps us diagnose and monitor conditions like asthma, COPD, and other respiratory disorders.
How Spirometry Works
The test is simple and non-invasive — you’ll be asked to take a deep breath in and then blow out as hard and fast as you can into a mouthpiece connected to a specialised machine. You may repeat this a few times to ensure we get the most accurate result. The test usually takes 15-30 minutes.
What Spirometry Can Help With
Diagnosing asthma, COPD, and other lung conditions
Monitoring how well your lungs respond to treatment
Checking for changes in your lung function over time
Whether you’re experiencing persistent cough, breathlessness, or wheezing, or you need to check how well your medications are working, spirometry provides critical insights into your lung health.
Preparing for Your Spirometry Test
To get the best possible results, please follow these simple steps before your test:
✅ Avoid smoking or vaping for at least 1 hour before your appointment.
✅ Avoid heavy meals right before the test.
✅ Wear loose, comfortable clothing that won’t restrict your breathing.
✅ If you use inhalers regularly, check with our staff when booking to see if you should pause your medication before the test.
