Lung Function Test hman tlanglawn ber berte chu engte nge ni?
LFT chi hrang hrang a awm a, mahse a tlangpui ber—leh a tlangpuiin a hmasa ber—chu Spirometry .
Spirometry hi eng nge ni?
Spirometry hi test awlsam tak, non-invasive test a ni. I hmui chu Spirometer an tih device nena inzawm mouthpiece vel seal turin an ti ang che .
