How to do lung function tests for infants1

  There are originally many methods for lung function testing, but most of them are passive and require patients to have a certain level of understanding and cooperation. The infant population cannot cooperate with doctors independently and can only adopt passive examination methods, mainly including infant body X-ray, tidal respiratory lung function examination, rapid chest and abdominal compression method, blockade method, etc., which can basically accurately rule out the condition.

  Due to the lack of self-control in the infant population, crying is inevitable during the examination process. In order to facilitate the examination, doctors usually administer sedatives to the infant population and allow them to undergo the examination while they are asleep. This can ensure the smooth progress of the examination without causing fear in the baby, and the mother can rest assured.

  Through lung function tests, it is possible to determine whether a baby's respiratory tract is obstructed and identify the site of obstruction. Early respiratory diseases can also be diagnosed clearly to assess the severity of lung diseases, which is very helpful for evaluating the baby's condition. Therefore, mothers should fully cooperate with doctors.
