The digital spirometer with LCD display is an important examination tool in chest, lung and respiratory diseases in general. It has a great significance in detecting differential diagnosis, treatment evaluation and selection of surgical indications.
Spirometry is indicated for the following reasons:
- to detect & manage asthma
- to detect respiratory disease in patients presenting with symptoms of breathlessness
- to detect & measure bronchial responsiveness in patients suspected of having asthma
- to diagnose and differentiate between obstructive lung disease and restrictive lung disease
- to follow the natural history of disease in respiratory conditions
- to assess of impairment from occupational asthma
- to identify those at risk from pulmonary barotrauma while scuba diving
- to conduct pre-operative risk assessment before anaesthesia or cardiothoracic surgery
- to measure response to treatment of conditions which spirometry detects
- to diagnose the vocal cord dysfunction.
