I took the test yesterday. I asked if they clean the mouthpiece and the guy said it was a new one. Upon examining it, I could see lipstick. He quickly took it off and replaced it with one out of a new package. I also found it on that he took the facemask and tubing from the previous Patient and put it in his backpack. He did that after I told him that I wanted to see the package open to ensure it was new and clean. He stated that the tech before him must not have changed it. I’m sure there was no other tech doing that job.😮 I will be letting my doctor know. He does not have a good bedside manner, so I don’t know that he would really care. But I am considering turning this into the medical board. As far as the test goes, do not be stressed. It is nothing to be stressed about. Just make sure it’s clean.

It is true that breathing through the nose offers many benefits, including humidification of inhaled air, filtering of dust and other particles, and improved oxygen consumption. However, when we are performing a pulmonary function test, it is better to breathe through the mouth. This is because we are testing maximum lung capacities and force - both of which are much easier to achieve through the mouth. We also need a tight seal for the tests, which is easier to achieve using a mouthpiece.

I just took a spirometry test about a week ago and my pulmonologist said the results were normal in the follow up I had yesterday, yet after I told them about how I used my rescue inhaler an hour before the test they said I wasn’t supposed to do that before any breathing test, and no I wasn’t told this before the procedure. Does this mean my lung function would’ve been lower than what was shown in the spirometry report?
