    This can lead to parts of the lung having a honeycomb-like appearance. The extrinsic causes result in lung restriction, impaired ventilatory function, and even respiratory failure due to the diseases that effect the lungs ability to create a change in lung volumes during respiration due to the diseases of the systems stated above.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulmonary_function_testing

    Spirometry. Spirometry includes tests of pulmonary mechanics – measurements of FVC, FEV 1, FEF values, forced inspiratory flow rates (FIFs), and MVV. Measuring pulmonary mechanics assesses the ability of the lungs to move huge volumes of air quickly through the airways to identify airway obstruction. [citation needed]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spirometry

    Spirometry (meaning the measuring of breath) is the most common of the pulmonary function tests (PFTs). It measures lung function, specifically the amount (volume) and/or speed (flow) of air that can be inhaled and exhaled.

    A person doing a spirometry test Lung function testing is carried out by evaluating a person's capacity to inhale and exhale in different circumstances. [ 101 ] The volume of air inhaled and exhaled by a person at rest is the tidal volume (normally 500–750 mL); the inspiratory reserve volume and expiratory reserve volume are the additional ...

    The image shows how spirometry is done. The patient takes a deep breath and blows as hard as possible into a connected tube. The spirometer measures the amount of air breathed out and how fast. Spirometry is the gold standard for diagnosing lower airway obstruction. It measures the FEV1/FVC ratio. A decreased ratio indicates obstruction. [12]

    Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a type of progressive lung disease characterized by chronic respiratory symptoms and airflow limitation. [8] GOLD 2024 defined COPD as a heterogeneous lung condition characterized by chronic respiratory symptoms (dyspnea or shortness of breath, cough, sputum production and/or exacerbations) due to abnormalities of the airways (bronchitis ...
