Lung Function Decline and Exacerbation in Asthma
Spirometry is the gold standard to assess lung function2.
Lung function assessment can1:
- Diagnose pulmonary disease
- Monitor disease progression
- Monitor treatment response
Impact of reduced lung function2
- Shortness of breath
- Increased exacerbation risk
- Reduced exercise tolerance
- Impaired gas exchange resulting in hypoxemia and hypercapnia
