Medicine has become a major part of modern life. Without the aid of modern medicine we would not be able to fight the life threatening diseases that exist today. But even with the aid of modern medicine man would be helpless if he was not able to diagnose the health problems that are affecting them. We can keep track of our lung capacity and functioning with the aid of any spirometer.
This machine is not just a single device. There are many kinds of machines that falls under this category. All the devices work to measure lung capacity and functioning, while some can even help your lung recuperate. The Pneumotachometer is a commonly used machine that can be used in any environment. The machine does not require the patient to breathe in any controlled environment to get the correct readings.
At times there is need to have a controlled environment to be able to get the correct measurements. Putting the patient in a controlled and enclosed environment can help understand the patients body better. The plethysmograph helps you do exactly that. Here the patient has to stay in an enclosed space and breathe the air that is passed in and out of the breathing device.
There is an electronic version uses ultrasonic transducer and pressured measurements to measure the air flow. There is not requirement of meshes or moving machine parts. The entire calculation method is mechanical, so there are less chances of devices having any wrong readings. The speed of the airflow is what can help the measurement.
One variety of this device, the incentive spirometers, not just measures but also helps recover. The device can be used on any recovering patient whose lung power needs to be improved. Essentially after being blown into, the device releases a backflow that helps open the lung alveoli.
Another device which is known as the peak flow device helps measure airflow. The machine is popular since the device is a hand held device. The air flow can be measured to ensure whether there is any obstruction in the lung or not. If there is any blockage then this is the best device that can be used to understand any such problems.
One device uses rotating disks to measure the airflow. The windmill-type or spiropet uses these rotating discs in a hand held device to measure. Most people need expert supervision since the device must be held horizontally to get the right measurements. If the device is held wrong then the device
The tilt type is another type of spirometer that can help you to get correct measurements. If the angle the device is held in is incorrect then the device can give you incorrect readings. There are some varieties that can easily be used to measure lung capacity on the go. So, you can use the devices without expert supervision.
