Spirometry test with COSMED Quark PFT at University of Milan (Italy)

Fabiano Di Marco, Associate Professor at University of Milan - Department of Health Sciences and Respiratory Diseases, performed a spirometry test with COSMED Quark PFT.

Spirometry is the most common type of Pulmonary Function Test. This test measures how much air a subject can breathe in and out of his lungs, as well as how easily and fast he can blow the air out of his lungs.

Doctors use spirometry tests to diagnose these conditions:

• COPD
• Asthma
• Restrictive lung disease, such as interstitial pulmonary fibrosis
• Other disorders affecting lung function

Spirometry tests also allow doctors to monitor chronic lung conditions to check whether current treatment is improving patient's breathing.
