Spirometry: Preventive Lung Function Test at AIVA in Berlin

Breathing happens automatically. Every time we inhale, we supply our cells with vital oxygen. The lungs are one of the most important organs, so preventive examinations are important for checking their function and taking early countermeasures in the event of potential illnesses. Spirometry is an indispensable procedure for examining lung function. In Berlin, we perform this medical test not only in cases where lung function is suspected to be restricted, but also and above all as a preventive measure to ensure your health and well-being.

How fit are your lungs? Spirometry at AIVA in Berlin.

What is Spirometry and How Does It Work?

At AIVA in Berlin, we use spirometry to measure your lung function and capacity in order to diagnose any respiratory diseases and initiate treatment. The test determines the volume of air you breathe in and out, as well as how quickly you can breathe.

Spirometry is non-invasive and painless. This is how the examination works:

  • You sit comfortably and are given a nose clip to prevent nasal breathing during the test.
  • You enclose the mouthpiece of the device firmly with your lips. You then breathe in and out.
  • Your practitioner will ask you to inhale and exhale deeply or to breathe quickly and forcefully.
  • The spirometer measures the volume and speed of your breaths.
  • The spirometry measurement results are analysed by our specialists in Berlin using graphs.

Duration of the examination: approx. 20 minutes

Price: €89

Spirometry provides various important measurements for analysing your lung function. The two most important are:

One-second capacity: The volume of air that is expelled within the first second of a forced exhalation. This is an important indicator for recognising asthma or COPD.

Vital capacity: The maximum volume of air that can be exhaled after a deep inhale with maximum effort. This value provides information on restrictive lung diseases.

Spirometry as Part of Individualised Preventive Concepts at AIVA in Berlin

The team of specialists at AIVA in Berlin is particularly committed to the prevention of possible illnesses, complaints or restrictions that could affect your quality of life and well-being. We want you to feel good inside and out – which is why our comprehensive preventive concepts enable us to identify health risk factors at an early stage and, ideally, eliminate them.

Spirometry can take place at our institute in Berlin as an individual examination or as part of a more comprehensive check-up. This procedure is always recommended if you experience breathing difficulties, but it also offers many preventative benefits:

  • Early detection: With the help of spirometry, many respiratory diseases can be reliably recognised at an early stage, often before symptoms appear. This enables early intervention to prevent or delay symptoms.
  • Monitoring: With regular spirometry tests at AIVA in Berlin, your lung function can be monitored to quickly recognise changes. This is particularly useful for people with risk factors such as smoking, obesity or occupational exposure to pollutants.
  • Adjustment of treatments: Many medical treatments or medications can affect the lungs. Treatment plans can be adjusted based on the spirometry results.
  • Health promotion: By regularly monitoring your lung function, we can also implement measures to optimise lung health and capacity, for example for athletes.

Who Benefits from Preventive Spirometry?

Spirometry, performed by our experts in Berlin, is not aimed at a specific target group, but can benefit everyone by enabling the early detection of illnesses and preventing complaints and limitations. However, such a measurement is particularly advisable for (former) smokers, competitive athletes and people with occupational exposure to pollutants as well as for anyone with respiratory complaints.
