Lungefunktion
Lungefunktion, also known as lung function or pulmonary function, refers to the evaluation of the lungs' ability to inhale and exhale air. This assessment is crucial for diagnosing and monitoring a wide range of respiratory conditions. The most common method for measuring lung function is spirometry. Spirometry involves a patient breathing into a device called a spirometer, which measures the volume of air inhaled or exhaled and the rate at which it is exhaled.
Key measurements obtained from spirometry include Forced Vital Capacity (FVC), which is the total amount of
Other lung function tests may include lung volume measurements to determine the total amount of air the
Abnormal lung function can be indicative of conditions such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD),
