Lung Function Tests
A Specialist Lung Health Assessment is necessary for several reasons:
- Diagnosing conditions: It helps diagnose lung conditions before symptoms manifest. Early detection can lead to better treatment outcomes.
- Observing conditions: The assessment can determine the presence, shape, and size of tumours or nodules in the lungs.
- Detection of other ailments: It enables the detection of additional illnesses like infections and emphysema that may be contributing to respiratory symptoms.
- Determining effects of past health problems: The assessment can evaluate the impact of past health issues, such as COVID-19, on lung function and overall respiratory health.
Spirometry evaluates lung function by gauging the airflow into and out of the lungs, aiming to identify any potential issues. This assessment is essential for individuals employed in settings where they encounter frequent exposure to dust, chemicals, or other respiratory hazards.
