Spirometry (the measuring of breath) is the most common of the
Pulmonary Function Tests (PFTs), measuring lung function, specifically the
measurement of the amount (volume) and/or speed (flow) of air that can be
inhaled and exhaled. Spirometry is an important tool used for generating
pneumotachograph to assessing conditions such as asthma, pulmonary fibrosis, and
COPD.
