Lung Volume Measurements

Lung volume measurements are tests that assess how much air your lungs can hold and how efficiently they function. They help doctors evaluate your lung capacity, detect potential respiratory issues, and monitor conditions like asthma or COPD. Common tests include measuring the total amount of air you can inhale and exhale (total lung capacity) and how much air remains after a full exhale (residual volume). These measurements provide valuable information about lung health and aid in diagnosing and managing respiratory problems accurately.
