Measurement of blowing capacity after sports effort:
This test is useful for children and adults who have a history of illness that is expected to be a common asthma but reading the maximum bloating in the clinic is normal.
- Calculate the amount of blowing force which is the highest reading after three attempts.
- Ask the patient to perform a 6-minute workout like running.
- Calculate the amount of force blowing after the sport of 5, 10, 15 minutes and if a drop in reading by 15% or more, this proves the diagnosis.
Example :
1) Reading (550).
2) The patient's work is an athletic effort.
3) After a quarter of an hour reading (300).
4) The ratio = 550-300 / 550 = 250/550 which is more than 15% which proves the diagnosis of asthma.
