Medicine has become a major part of modern life. Without the aid of modern medicine we would not be able to fight the life threatening diseases that exist today. But even with the aid of modern medicine man would be helpless if he was not able to diagnose the health problems that are affecting them. We can keep track of our lung capacity and functioning with the aid of any spirometer.
Talking about this kind of device does not limit us to just a single kind of machine. There are many different kinds of this machine that can help measure your lung functioning. A few of the devices require the patient to breathe in controlled environment. But the Pneumotachometer does not have such requirements. You can use this device anywhere you want, so it is an easily portable device.
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.
There is an electronic version uses ultrasonic transducer and pressured measurements to measure the air flow. There is not requirement of meshes or moving machine parts. The entire calculation method is mechanical, so there are less chances of devices having any wrong readings. The speed of the airflow is what can help the measurement.
Since measuring lung capacity may not be enough for many recovering patients, there are devices that can help patients recover. The Incentive Spirometers are devices that patients need to blow into and hold the breath for a few seconds. After which there is a backflow. This backflow helps pop the alveoli that help breathing.
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
Similar to the windmill-type is the tilt compensated type of the device. Here the machine needs to be held horizontally but at an angle. If the tilt is too much, then the measurements can go wrong. This is why it is best to have experts looking over the test process so as to ensure that there are not problems during the process. Some spirometer can be used without expert assistance. So, if you do need to keep a check on your lung capacity then it is best to buy this device.
