Spirometer Detecting Air Flow Volume In and Out of the Lungs

There is a breathing apparatus called a spirometer that is used for measuring the volume of air going into and out of the lungs. It measures respiration flow rates and records the amount of air and the rate of air that is breathed in and out over a specified period of time. When mom was home, this apparatus helped her with her breathing exercises, because she had difficult breathing on her own. Indications from a spirometer will help determine the efficiency and health of the lungs. Smokers who eventually have trouble breathing may be using this device. Just like President Obama has been warned about smoking, others should know that continued smoking habits can eventually lead into problems with breathing, then sooner or later you may need such a breathing apparatus to help you breathe.
