Spirometry is a simple but underutilized test that is particularly well suited for office practice. With it, the physician can distinguish among different types of ventilatory impairment and follow the patient's course. It also permits detection of small-airway disease at an early stage, when measures to prevent development of chronic bronchitis and emphysema may be effective.
肺量测定法是一项简单却未得到充分利用的检测方法，特别适用于门诊医疗。借助该方法，医生能够区分不同类型的通气功能障碍，并跟踪患者的病程。它还能在早期检测出小气道疾病，此时采取措施预防慢性支气管炎和肺气肿的发展可能会有效。
