In simple words: This test helps doctors figure out if exercise makes it hard to breathe. You'll exercise, and the doctor will measure your breathing before and after.This helps them see if your airways narrow during or after exercise.

This procedure involves an exercise test to assess exercise-induced bronchospasm. It includes pre- and post-exercise spirometry and pulse oximetry, but does not include electrocardiographic recordings.The patient performs vigorous exercise, typically on a treadmill or stationary bike, and lung function is measured before and after exertion to determine the presence and severity of bronchospasm.

Example 1: A patient with a history of asthma experiences shortness of breath during exercise and is referred for testing to determine if they have exercise-induced bronchospasm., An athlete experiences coughing and wheezing after strenuous training and undergoes this test to assess for potential exercise-induced bronchospasm., A patient with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is evaluated with this test to determine the degree to which exercise affects their lung function.

Documentation should include the spirometry results before and after exercise, pulse oximetry readings, details of the exercise protocol used, and the patient's symptoms during and after exercise.
