Line 37: Spirometry includes tests of pulmonary mechanics – measurements of FVC, FEV<sub>1</sub>, FEF values, forced inspiratory flow rates (FIFs), and MVV. Measuring pulmonary mechanics assesses the ability of the lungs to move huge volumes of air quickly through the airways to identify airway obstruction. The measurements taken by the spirometry device are used to generate a [[pneumotachograph]] that can help to assess lung conditions such as: asthma, pulmonary fibrosis, cystic fibrosis, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. [[Physician]]s may also use the test results to diagnose bronchial hyperresponsiveness to exercise, cold air, or pharmaceutical agents.<ref>Pulmonary Function Test in New York, Article. June 2010.
