Bronchodilator testing is a diagnostic procedure that evaluates the response of the airways to medication. It is often performed alongside spirometry to assess lung function. The test involves measuring lung volumes and airflow before and after administering a bronchodilator, which is a medication that relaxes the airway muscles and widens the air passages. By comparing the pre-and post-bronchodilator measurements, healthcare providers can determine the extent of airway reversibility, helping to diagnose conditions like asthma. Peak flow meters, on the other hand, are handheld devices used to measure the maximum speed of exhalation. They are commonly used by individuals with asthma to monitor their lung function and adjust their treatment accordingly.
