Asthmatics have remarkable changes in their pulmonary function in response to numerous external stimuli and internal controls. Serial pulmonary function testing in the office, hospital, at home, or the work place allows the objective measurement that is necessary to intelligently diagnose and treat these patients. Once the patient and the physician understand how to use the techniques for monitoring the degree of airways obstruction, they become a key in medical management decisions.
哮喘患者在对众多外部刺激和内部调节做出反应时，其肺功能会发生显著变化。在办公室、医院、家中或工作场所进行系列肺功能测试，能实现客观测量，这对明智地诊断和治疗这些患者而言是必要的。一旦患者和医生了解如何运用监测气道阻塞程度的技术，它们便成为医疗管理决策的关键。
