Walk as fast as you can over a 6 minute period up and down our corridor. The objective is to walk as far as possible. Your level of breathlessness, heart rate, oxygen levels, respiratory rate and distance are monitored before, during and after the test. ...more information

This test is used to help diagnose asthma where other tests may not have been able to detect it. It takes up to an hour to perform. Under controlled conditions, we try to induce a mild asthma attack. Baseline spirometry is performed, and then a low dose of inhaled agent (Mannitol) is administered. The dose of mannitol slowly increases with each inhalation. Spirometry is repeated between each administered dose to assess response. The test stops at the first sign of asthma like reactions, and salbutamol (Ventolin) is given to reverse any asthma response. ...more information

This involves blowing slow and steady into a mouthpiece. It measures allergic type inflammation within your airways, and suggests responsiveness to an inhaled steroid medication. ...more information

This involves blowing into a tube and measuring the strength and volume of your exhaled and inspired breath. An inhaled medication (salbutamol) is then given to see if your breathing improves. ...more information from the American Lung Association ...more information from the Lung Foundation Australia

This test involves breathing in and out as strong as you can against a closed mouth piece. The strength of your effort is then calculated.

A small fingerprick sample of blood is taken beforehand to measure your haemoglobin level. You then take a deep breath of a respiratory-gas mix, holding your breath for 10seconds, and exhaling steadily into a mouthpiece. It measures the total volume of your lungs and how well your lungs absorb gases from the atmosphere into your blood.
