spirometer
spirometer
Noun
pl: spirometers
This term is a technical medical instrument used primarily in pulmonary diagnostics. It is used by clinicians to assess respiratory health, specifically to diagnose conditions like asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) by measuring the flow and volume of air.
In a clinical setting, the word is used with high precision. It is distinct from a pulse oximeter, which measures oxygen saturation in the blood rather than the physical volume of air moved by the lungs.
