Cardiac & Respiratory
A lung volume test measures total lung capacity and residual air after exhalation, helping distinguish between restrictive and obstructive conditions like asthma or COPD, with a quick, non-invasive procedure lasting about 20 minutes.
A lung volume test assesses both the total air capacity within your lungs and the volume of air remaining after maximal exhalation.
A lung volume test helps determine whether a lung condition is restrictive or obstructive. In obstructive lung conditions, airways become narrow, causing air to remain in the lungs after exhalation. Such conditions include COPD and asthma.
You will be seated and instructed to inhale through a tube. A nose clip will be applied to ensure no air escapes through your nose. The test typically lasts around 20 minutes.
