The answer would be pulmonary function test

Pulmonary function test used to know the various capacities of the lungs that reflect the lungs status. From this test, the physician can conclude if the lungs are obstructive, restrictive, or both. Patient with asthma will have a better improvement when given bronchodilator drug compared to COPD patient.
