Analysing exhaled air provides information about inflammation of the respiratory tract. For this examination, you need to breathe out slowly and evenly through a filter.
The measurement of lung function (spirometry) determines, for example, the maximum amount of air you can inhale and exhale. You will be asked several times to breathe out as quickly and firmly as possible. In rare cases, the deep inhalation and exhalation may cause feelings of dizziness.
In the NAKO second re-examination, spirometry is part of examination module M 6, the analysis of exhaled air and measurement of lung function.
