Spirometry is the gold standard for making the diagnosis of COPD. It should be performed in every case of suspected COPD. Other pulmonary functions, such as lung volumes, can give insight into physiologic consequences of COPD, such as hyperinflation. Pulmonary function testing can also aid in assessing the severity of disease and in managing the disease after diagnosis is made.
肺量测定法是诊断 COPD 的金标准。对于疑似 COPD 的每一病例,均应进行肺量测定法。其他肺功能,如肺容积,可深入了解 COPD 的生理后果,如过度充气。肺功能检查也有助于评估疾病的严重程度,并在确诊后管理疾病。
