Pediatric lung function testing

Pediatric lung function testing involves a series of assessments to measure how well a child's lungs are working. These tests can evaluate how much air a child can inhale and exhale, how quickly they can do it, and how effectively their lungs deliver oxygen to the blood. This information helps doctors diagnose conditions like asthma or cystic fibrosis, monitor lung health, and guide treatment decisions. The tests are usually non-invasive and designed to be child-friendly, ensuring that young patients feel comfortable during the process.
