The most commonly impaired lung function is diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide, as well as reduced lung volumes and spirometry.
22.
With this technique, consistent lung inflation levels are achieved in patients, as judged by both spirometry and verification films.
23.
For instance, the equipment does Spirometry which can detect the absence or presence of restrictive and / or obstructive lung patterns.
24.
Spirometry may also be useful to establish the diagnosis of VCD when performed during a crisis or after a nasal provocation test.
25.
Other lung function tests include spirometry, measuring the amount ( volume ) and flow of air that can be inhaled and exhaled.
26.
Testing peak expiratory flow is more variable than spirometry, however, and thus not recommended for routine diagnosis . < ! --
27.
Results of spirometry are also a good predictor of the future progress of the disease but not as good as the BODE index.
28.
There are two basic methods of performing DIBH : free-breathing breath-hold, and spirometry-monitored deep inspiration breath hold.
29.
Breathing tests ( spirometry, body plethysmography ) are used to measure impairment of respiratory flow through the larynx, particularly in patients with bilateral paralysis.

His publications include " A Case of Congenital Hyperbilirubinaemia ( Dubin-Johnson Syndrome ) in Pakistan " and " Spirometry in Tropical Pulmonary Eosinophilia ".
