A test to assess the capacity of the airways and lungs (measurement of respiratory capacity). The test involves measuring the volume of air in the respiratory system. It allows you to assess respiratory capacity, determine the capacity of the lungs and the gases contained in the lungs. It also gives information about the ventilation efficiency of the respiratory system. The test involves breathing through a device called a spirometer.
Diastolic spirometry involves performing a repeatspirometry test after the patient has been given a bronchodilator drug.
The result is provided in the form of a graphical chart.

• Current acute upper respiratory tract infection,
