PFT

Pulmonary Function Tests (PFTs) are critical for assessing lung function and diagnosing respiratory conditions. PFTs measure how well the lungs take in and release air, as well as how efficiently they transfer oxygen into the blood. This test is especially important for patients with chronic respiratory conditions such as asthma, COPD, and pulmonary fibrosis, providing insights into the severity of the condition and guiding treatment strategies.

PFTs involve a series of breathing maneuvers that help our specialists evaluate different aspects of lung function. These tests are non-invasive and typically include spirometry, which measures the amount and speed of air a person can exhale. By analyzing these results, doctors can determine the presence and extent of lung disease, monitor disease progression, and assess the effectiveness of ongoing treatments, ensuring that patients receive the best possible care for their respiratory health.
