About Pulmonary Function Test

A Pulmonary Function Test (PFT) is a comprehensive, non-invasive diagnostic procedure performed by a pulmonologist to assess how well your lungs are working. It measures lung volume, capacity, rates of flow, and gas exchange. This test is crucial for diagnosing and monitoring conditions like asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), pulmonary fibrosis, and other respiratory disorders. By breathing into a specialized device called a spirometer, the test provides detailed data on lung function, helping your doctor create an effective treatment plan. PFTs are safe, painless, and provide vital insights for managing respiratory health.
