Meaning and Clinical Context
A diagnostic test that measures the amount and speed of air a person can inhale and exhale, used to assess lung function.
Spirometry is essential for diagnosing and monitoring conditions such as asthma, COPD, and pulmonary fibrosis. It measures forced vital capacity (FVC) and forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), providing critical data for clinical decision-making.

Example in Use
English: The patient underwent spirometry to evaluate their obstructive lung disease, revealing a reduced FEV1/FVC ratio.
Turkish: Hasta, obstrüktif akciğer hastalığını değerlendirmek için spirometri yaptırdı ve azalmış FEV1/FVC oranı tespit edildi.
Clinical Notes
Scenario
