By Jayne Rutledge


The diagnosis and management of COPD has been made very easy thanks to spirometers. This is a device used to accurately compute the amount of air in the lungs. This way, you can be able to know how your patient is performing, or whether or not you should make changes on your patient's treatment plan.

There are several things that the device measures. The vital capacity in human lungs, peak expiratory flow rate and also forced expiratory volume among other things. The device is quite simple and straight forward to use; comes with a mouthpiece connected to an automated machine that records the findings. The machine further displays the results graphically during inhalation and exhalation.

When using the device, the mouthpiece is often connected to a machine that accurately captures the findings, which are then displayed graphically when the patient inhales and exhales. Note, also that most patients are today finding the need to buy and use these devices at home. The fact that they are FDA approved means they are safe for use in the diagnosis and management of COPD.

Buying spirometers is a nerve wrecking experience for most people, pretty much like buying any other costly item today. This is because the device should be seen as an investment that can be used for years without compromising on performance.

As simple as it is to use the device, you certainly would need some guidance on the same. Most suppliers and dealers have online training manuals both in soft copy and video form on the internet. This will guide you into getting quality and accurate test date. You will need both general spirometry training as well as product training.

It is also important to ensure that you purchase from a reliable and reputable source. Only purchase from an established manufacturer i. E. A reputed brand name in the industry. Spirometer companies crop up on a daily/regular basis.

Just like buying most items today especially on the internet, it is highly recommended that you do a thorough research on the item you wish to purchase. Cheap is always expensive when it comes to spirometers since most cheap products will either compromise on their performance, ease of use, or durability.

The most affordable devices tend to compromise on their ease of use and performance. Basically, it is worth spending a little more a quality device that will last the longest possible time. While at it, it is recommended that you go for a portable device that will make your work convenient. Rather than drag the patient to a corded spirometer, you can always get a portable device that will allow you to take it to the patient.

Thanks to the internet, you can purchase good quality and durable spirometers entirely online. Even so, ensure you do your due diligence to make sure you get your money's worth.
