Spirometry in children

Spirometry is a test that measures how well a child's lungs are working by recording the amount and speed of air they can inhale and exhale. During the test, the child breathes into a device called a spirometer, which captures data on lung function. This helps doctors diagnose respiratory conditions like asthma or lung infections, monitor ongoing lung health, and determine how well treatments are working. The test is quick, non-invasive, and usually painless, making it a useful tool for assessing lung health in children of various ages.
