Pulmonary Function Tests (PFT) are non-invasive tests that measure how well your lungs are working. They assess lung capacity, airflow, and the efficiency of gas exchange, helping doctors diagnose and monitor respiratory conditions such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), or lung fibrosis. Patients should opt for PFT if they experience shortness of breath, chronic cough, or are managing a lung condition. The test also helps monitor lung function pre- and post-surgery or treatment.

 

When to Choose PFT:

• Diagnosing asthma, COPD, or other lung conditions

 

• Evaluating shortness of breath or chronic cough

 

• Monitoring lung health before or after surgery

 

• Managing occupational lung diseases

 

• Assessing the effectiveness of respiratory treatments

 

Types of PFT Services at Our Diagnostic Centre:

• Spirometry (measures lung airflow)

 

• Lung Volume Test (measures lung capacity)

 

• Diffusion Capacity Test (measures gas exchange efficiency)

 

• Plethysmography (detailed lung volume measurement)

 

Benefits of PFT:

• Early detection of lung diseases

 

• Non-invasive and quick procedure

 

• Provides valuable information for treatment planning

 

Patients can expect to receive their PFT reports within 24-48 hours, ensuring timely follow-up with their healthcare provider for further diagnosis or treatment.
