Spirometry is performed by having the patient breathe into a mouthpiece attached to the spirometer. The patient will have to take the deepest breath possible then exhale into the mouthpiece while measurements are taken from the spirometer. Some tests performed will require the patient to take a series of breaths from normal to powerful.
