Spirometry:

Spirometry is a common office test used to assess how well your lungs work by measuring how much air you inhale, how much you exhale and how quickly you exhale.

Spirometry is used to diagnose asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and other conditions that affect breathing. Spirometry may also be used periodically to monitor your lung condition and check whether a treatment for a chronic lung condition is helping you breathe better.

Why it’s done

Your doctor may suggest a spirometry test if he or she suspects your signs or symptoms may be caused by a chronic lung condition such as:

• Asthma
• COPD
• Chronic bronchitis
• Emphysema
• Pulmonary fibrosis

Methacholine Test:

Methacholine inhalation is used to help your doctor diagnose bronchial airway hyperreactivity or asthma. This medicine works by narrowing your bronchial airways. The degree of narrowing will be measured by a device called a spirometer. This test is also called the methacholine challenge test.

During the test, you will breathe in small amounts of methacholine, and the pulmonary technologist will measure your lung function. Your normal lung function will be measured first (also known as your baseline breathing). Then you will start the test, and the methacholine will be added. If your lung function drops by 20% or more from your baseline, you may have asthma.

The test takes about 90 minutes.
