Spirometry

Spirometry testing is an important way to assess lung function, it determines how healthy your lungs are and can also be used to diagnose and control lung diseases. In the Kazakhstan Sanatorium this diagnostic testing is carried out by a highly qualified physician therapist.

It is necessary to undergo the testing, if:

you are smoking or used to smoke

you cough often

you are short of breath when you walk fast

you are worried about the health of your lungs

you are already undergoing treatment related to lung disease.

During the test, you breathe out as much air as possible, as hard as you can, into a device called a spirometer.

This test measures how much air you can blow out in total and how much air you can exhale in the first second. The examination does not cause pain and usually takes less than 10 minutes.
