Spirometry Testing
Beeline Clinical provides comprehensive spirometry testing services at our locations in New Bedford, MA, and New York City, helping employers and healthcare providers assess employee lung function and ensure workplace safety. Spirometry testing is a vital component of pulmonary function testing (PFT) used to detect respiratory issues, monitor lung health, and assess fitness for specific job roles.
What is Spirometry Testing?
Spirometry is a non-invasive test that measures how much air you can inhale and exhale and how quickly you can empty your lungs. It is commonly used to detect conditions like:
Asthma
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
Pulmonary Fibrosis
Occupational Lung Diseases
Why is Spirometry Important for Occupational Health?
Spirometry is crucial for identifying lung function issues, especially in industries with exposure to dust, chemicals, or fumes. It helps employers:
Monitor lung health during annual health checks.
Ensure compliance with OSHA standards for respirator use.
Conduct pre-employment baseline assessments.
Perform DOT physicals for commercial drivers.
Assess workers exposed to hazardous substances (e.g., asbestos, silica).
How Spirometry Testing Works:
Step 1: You will be asked to breathe into a mouthpiece connected to a spirometer.
Step 2: You take a deep breath and exhale as forcefully and quickly as possible.
Step 3: The machine records measurements, such as:
FVC (Forced Vital Capacity): The total amount of air exhaled.
FEV1 (Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second): The amount of air exhaled in the first second.
Step 4: Results are analyzed to determine lung function and identify abnormalities
