Complete Lung Function Assessment Comprehensive lung function testing for respiratory health evaluation.

Comprehensive Lung Function Testing

Pulmonary Function Test (PFT) measures how well your lungs work by assessing lung capacity, volume, and gas exchange. These comprehensive tests are essential for diagnosing asthma, COPD, and other respiratory conditions, as well as monitoring treatment effectiveness.

PFT includes multiple tests: spirometry measures airflow, lung volume tests assess total capacity, and diffusion capacity tests evaluate how well oxygen transfers from lungs to blood. Together, these provide a complete picture of respiratory health.

Our advanced computerized PFT equipment provides accurate measurements with detailed reports. Testing typically takes 30-45 minutes and helps doctors diagnose lung diseases, monitor disease progression, and evaluate pre-operative fitness for surgery.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about pulmonary function testing.

No, PFT just requires following simple breathing instructions from the technician. You'll breathe into a mouthpiece and perform specific breathing maneuvers. Most people find it easy to complete.

Complete pulmonary function testing typically takes 30-45 minutes. This includes spirometry, lung volume measurement, and diffusion capacity tests. Simple spirometry alone takes only 10-15 minutes.

Avoid heavy meals 2-3 hours before testing. Don't smoke for 4-6 hours before. Wear comfortable, loose clothing. Your doctor may ask you to avoid using inhalers before the test - follow their specific instructions.

Ask your doctor before the test. For baseline PFT, you may need to skip your inhaler for 4-24 hours depending on the type. For bronchodilator response testing, you'll use the inhaler during the test as directed.

Yes, PFT is safe for all ages including elderly patients. The test is non-invasive and involves only breathing maneuvers. Short rest periods are provided between tests to prevent fatigue.

PFT requires minimal exertion. You may feel slightly breathless during forced breathing maneuvers, but rest periods are provided between tests. Most patients tolerate the procedure well without significant fatigue.
