Spirometry, also known as Pulmonary Function Test (PFT) is a noninvasive test will tell our Physician how well your lungs are working. The test measures lung volume, capacity, rates of flow, and gas exchange. You'll be given a sterile mouthpiece that is attached to a spirometer machine. You will form a tight seal over the mouthpiece with your mouth and you will be instructed to inhale and exhale in different ways. You will be given a bronchodilator after the test. The test will then be repeated 10-15 minutes later, after the bronchodilator has had time to take effect.
Tympanometry, is a diagnostic test used to evaluate the functionality of the middle ear by measuring eardrum movement. During the test, a nurse inserts a tympanometer probe into the ear, which uses air pressure, sound energy, and a microphone to record eardrum responses. The probe's ports send air and a tone into the ear canal while recording the eardrum's reactions, producing a graph called a tympanogram. The patient must remain still to ensure accurate results. Tympanometry is generally safe with no significant side effects. The tympanogram's shape indicates whether the eardrum is functioning normally or if there are issues such as fluid build-up, earwax blockage, or other abnormalities.
Peak Flow Meter, measures how fast you can push air out of your lungs when you blow out as hard and as fast as you can. This is called peak flow. Your peak flowsmeasure how open the airways are in the lungs. Your peak flow may drop early even before you feel bad. This drop tells you that your asthma may be getting worse. Measuring your peak flow may help you learn what caused or “triggered” the drop, helps decidewhich medicines to add or take away and when you may need emergency care.
