What Spirometers Can Be Used For

By Jaclyn Hurley


This equipment is used for measuring and analyzing how the lung functions as pertains to air being held within. Knowing how a patient fares on with the respiratory system is important especially if he or she has had problems with the breathing system. Spirometers are therefore important in diagnosing diseases of the lung. These diseases are nowadays common and it needs proper attention when one falls sick of any of them.

This equipment can be used to detect any lung illness and it can also be used to check whether one has allergy to some of these lung medications. It can even do early detection and know whether one is prone lung infections. Sometimes, it acts early enough even before symptoms show up. This tool can tell of someone who will eventually develop a lung disease especially those coming from families with such cases.

This tool also assists in breathing because if one has lung infection, breathing becomes difficult. It therefore helps the respiratory system to open up so that enough air is drawn to help in breathing. By this, one is able to draw more air by taking deep breaths.

Those who are disadvantaged and have smaller lungs need this tool for better inflation. This means that size of their lungs can be increased so as to help in getting more air. The breathing mechanism and the amount of air being drawn in works together and this is what bring about proper oxygen flow.

In order to reduce certain infections arising from coughing, you need this tool. It assists the lungs to carry out many functions. If this is done, then the lung may be free from various diseases which is a threat to human.

Prevention of pneumonia is another work of this tool. It is in fact recommended that after surgery patient use it to help remove residue fluids which might have remained during the lung surgery procedure. This is because it will assist in the breathing mechanism and allow in more air which is actually used to remove any extra fluids which might have remained in the lungs. If such fluids are not removed, they may pile up in the air sacs and subject one to pneumonia.

This equipment contains an attached mouthpiece which is used for blowing in so as to enable enough air to get to the air sacs. It is possible to know the outcome because this device will eventually record the found results. At this point, a doctor will know how to carry on and what remedies to use on such a patient.

It is ideal to carry out various tests when using these lung apparatus because one test may not give all the information required. Many tests however will help a doctor in coming up with the correct diagnosis and assisting the patient. The age factor, height and weight should be incorporated into the found results so as to come up with the average in all the analysis.
