Spirometry Testing &
Respiratory Function Assessment
Non-invasive pulmonary function testing to evaluate lung capacity, breathing function, and overall respiratory health.
Clear Answers for Your Breathing Concerns.
Spirometry is a non-invasive pulmonary function test that measures how much air your lungs can hold and how quickly you can exhale, providing crucial information about respiratory health. Our urgent care clinic offers on-site spirometry testing and professional interpretation by experienced medical providers trained in respiratory assessment.
Spirometry testing is essential for diagnosing asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), restrictive lung disease, and evaluating shortness of breath or persistent cough. The test is also valuable for pre-operative screening and monitoring lung function in known respiratory conditions.
During spirometry, you breathe into a specialized device that measures air flow and volume during breathing maneuvers. The procedure is painless, non-invasive, and typically takes just a few minutes to complete with immediate results available in the clinic.
Simple breathing test โ no needles, no incisions
Most spirometry tests are completed in about 10 minutes
Testing and interpretation performed directly in our clinic
Key test for asthma, COPD, and other lung conditions
What Spirometry Measures
Detailed insight into how much air you can move and how quickly your lungs work
Forced Vital Capacity (FVC)
The total amount of air you can forcibly exhale after taking a deep breath in โ helps evaluate overall lung capacity.
Forced Expiratory Volume (FEV1)
The amount of air you can exhale in one second โ a key indicator of airway narrowing and obstructive lung disease.
FEV1/FVC Ratio
The percentage of your lung capacity exhaled in the first second โ used to distinguish obstructive vs restrictive patterns.
When Spirometry Is Recommended
A key diagnostic and monitoring tool for many respiratory concerns
Asthma Diagnosis & Monitoring
COPD & Chronic Lung Disease
Shortness of Breath Evaluation
Chronic Cough & Wheeze
Exercise-Induced Breathing Issues
Pre-Operative Respiratory Screening
Monitoring Known Lung Conditions
What to Expect During Spirometry
A calm, guided breathing test thatโs easy to complete
Respiratory Health Evaluation
Discussion of your breathing symptoms, medical history, and any triggers such as exercise, smoke, or allergens.
Guided Test Instructions
Our team shows you how to seal your lips around the mouthpiece and perform deep inhalation and forceful exhalation for accurate results.
Breathing Maneuvers
You take a deep breath in and blow out as hard and as fast as you can into the device, usually repeating several times.
Immediate Results Review
Your results are generated on the device and reviewed by our providers, who compare them to expected values based on your age, height, and sex.
