Enhance respiratory wellness through pulmonary function testing

Comprehending pulmonary function testing

Pulmonary function testing assesses vital lung functions such as capacity, airflow, and gas exchange. These tests are crucial in diagnosing and managing respiratory conditions.

Common conditions evaluated by PFT

Pulmonary function testing is used to diagnose and monitor a range of respiratory conditions, including:

Asthma
Characterized by inflamed and narrowed airways, causing difficulty in breathing.

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
A group of lung diseases, including emphysema and chronic bronchitis, that obstruct airflow.

Pulmonary fibrosis
Scarring of lung tissue leading to difficulty in breathing and reduced oxygen intake.

Chronic bronchitis
Long-term inflammation of the bronchi, resulting in mucus production and persistent cough.

How we perform pulmonary function testing

During PFT, you’ll gently breathe into a spirometer to measure lung function parameters. We ensure a comfortable environment and guide you through each step with empathy and care.
