When you attend your outpatient appointment you may be asked to carry out a lung function test. Lung function tests measure how well your lungs are working.
. You will be taken to the lung function room which has all the special lung function testing equipment in.The cubicle that you will be asked to sit in looks a bit like a shower cubicle.
The respiratory technician will then explain how the test is carried out and give you the chance to have a practice at blowing through the filter.
After your practice blow you will be asked to sit in the cubicle and carry out the test. • You will be asked to blow out as fast and as long as you can
There are some incentive games to play while the test is being carried out. • The test will not take long and we aim to make them as fun as possible.
