Spirometry for Children

Spirometry is a simple, painless breathing test that measures how much air your child can inhale and exhale, and how quickly they can exhale. It is the most important test for diagnosing and managing asthma and other respiratory conditions in children.

At Dr. Puja Chaudhary's clinic, we use state‑of‑the‑art paediatric spirometry equipment and child‑friendly techniques to make the test easy and comfortable. Our goal is to obtain accurate results while helping your child feel at ease throughout the process.

Why is Spirometry Performed?

• Diagnose Respiratory Conditions: Helps identify asthma, chronic cough, wheezing, and other lung disorders.
• Monitor Treatment: Tracks how well your child's asthma or other lung condition is responding to medication.
• Assess Lung Function: Evaluates baseline lung health before surgery or sports participation.
• Detect Airway Obstruction: Identifies narrowing or blockage in the airways that may not be apparent through physical examination alone.
• Guide Therapy: Helps tailor medication dosages and treatment plans for optimal results.

What to Expect During the Test

Your child will be asked to take a deep breath and then blow out as hard and fast as possible into a mouthpiece connected to a computer. The test is repeated several times to ensure accuracy. The entire procedure typically takes 15‑30 minutes and is completely safe. Our team will guide your child through each step with patience and encouragement.
