Due to the drastic scientific advancements that we see today, our lives have become much easier. The life span of every individual has also increased since there is some medical cure or other to help people live longer. But before starting treatment it is important to diagnose health problems. If you are worried about your lung then you can use a spirometer to help diagnose and even aid your lung. The equipment generally helps track inhalation and exhalation rate as well as lung capacity.
This machine is not just a single device. There are many kinds of machines that falls under this category. All the devices work to measure lung capacity and functioning, while some can even help your lung recuperate. The Pneumotachometer is a commonly used machine that can be used in any environment. The machine does not require the patient to breathe in any controlled environment to get the correct readings.
At times there is need to have a controlled environment to be able to get the correct measurements. Putting the patient in a controlled and enclosed environment can help understand the patients body better. The plethysmograph helps you do exactly that. Here the patient has to stay in an enclosed space and breathe the air that is passed in and out of the breathing device.
The electronic version device does not require moving parts or meshes. The device measures the speed of air flow. Using ultrasonic transducers or by measuring pressure change the machine can offer accurate measurements.
One device that does not just measure the air flow but assists it is the Incentive Spirometers. After many surgeries this device is prescribed to many patients to help regain lung strength. The mouthpiece is to be blown into. After the device is blown into, it forces air back into the lung popping open the alveoli. This can help increase the lung strength.
Another device which is known as the peak flow device helps measure airflow. The machine is popular since the device is a hand held device. The air flow can be measured to ensure whether there is any obstruction in the lung or not. If there is any blockage then this is the best device that can be used to understand any such problems.
One device uses rotating disks to measure the airflow. The windmill-type or spiropet uses these rotating discs in a hand held device to measure. Most people need expert supervision since the device must be held horizontally to get the right measurements. If the device is held wrong then the device
Similarly the tilt type spirometer needs to be held in a slightly angular horizontal position. This position is the correct position in which the device must be held while the measurement is taken. If the device is moved even a bit then the measurements may be off. There are devices that you can use all by yourself. In all you can trust these devices to give you the right lung readings.
