Wetin kin apin we dɛn de du spiromɛtri tɛst?

Okay, naw mek wi si wetin rili de apin durin dis spirometry test. Natin nɔ de fɔ fred, bikɔs dis nɔto tɛst we de mek pɔsin fil pen.

1. Fɔs, yu go sidɔm fayn na chia.

2. Dɔn, dɛn kin put smɔl klip (nɔs klip) pan yu nos. Dɛn put am so dat we yu de blo tru yu mɔt, di briz nɔ go kɔmɔt na yu nos. Dɔn yu jɔs gɛt fɔ blo insay ɛn kɔmɔt na yu mɔt.

Bɔku tɛm, di wan ol tɛst kin tek lɛk 30 to 45 minit. Di tɛknishian we de du di tɛst go ɛksplen ɔltin to yu gud gud wan ɛn ɛp yu. If yu fil eni diskɔmfɔt, nɔr frayd fɔ tɛl am wantɛm wantɛm.

Wetin wi kin lan frɔm di tin dɛn we dis tɛst dɔn du?

We di tɛst dɔn, di dɔktɔ go gɛda ɔl di data frɔm am, lɛk `FVC`, `FEV1` valyu, grafik, ɛn ɔda tin dɛn, ɛn ɛksplen to yu. Yu kin lan bɔku impɔtant tin dɛn frɔm dɛn rizɔlt ya:

• If yu gɛt lɔng sik ɔ yu nɔ gɛt: Dɛn rizɔlt ya de ɛp fɔ no if yu gɛt difrɛn lɔng sik dɛn lɛk `(Asthma)`, `(COPD)`, `(Pulmonary Fibrosis)`, ɛn `(Bronchiectasis)`.

Di dɔktɔ nɔ go jɔs kɔmpia di rizɔlt fɔ dis tɛst wit yu simptom dɛm, yu mɛdikal histri, ɛn ɔda tɛst dɛm we dɛn kin dɔn du (e.g., chɛst ɛkstrem rayt) fɔ rich wan las kɔnklushɔn. So, if yu gɛt ɛni kwɛstyɔn ɔ dawt bɔt di rizɔlt, nɔ fred fɔ aks di dɔktɔ, ilɛk wetin dɛn bi.

Ɛni kɔmplikeshɔn ɔ risk de wit dɛn tɛst ya?

dis lכng fכnshכn tεst dεm, spεshal spirometry, dεn kin kכnsidr dεm ya as rili sef. Dɛn nɔ kin briŋ ɛni big, siriɔs risk.

Bɔt sɔm pipul dɛn kin gɛt smɔl prɔblɛm we dɛn de du di tɛst ɔ afta dɛn dɔn du di tɛst:

Bɔt if yu jɔs dɔn gɛt at atak, big ɔpreshɔn pan yu chɛst, big ɔpreshɔn pan yu yay (lɛk ɔpreshɔn pan katarakt), ay blɔd prɛshɔn we yu nɔ kɔntrol, ɔ nyumotɔraks i nɔ tu te yet, yu dɔktɔ go disayd if dis tɛst fayn ɔ nɔ fayn.
