What is spirometry? How does it help in diagnosing COPD?

Spirometry is the main test for diagnosing COPD. It measures how much air one can move in and out of the lungs, and how quickly one can do it. Spirometry can detect problems even before one has symptoms of COPD. It also helps determine the stage of COPD.
