Asthma Testing
For patients aged 8+, a simple breathing test (spirometry) will be performed at the office.
- You will be asked to blow into a tube, and the machine will measure a number of different things about your lungs.
- Occasionally, you may be given Ventolin (Salbutamol), and then asked to perform the test again.
- This test will help you and the doctor decide what is best for your asthma management.
- You will also have the opportunity to learn proper inhaler technique.
- Please feel free to ask questions.
