Pulmonary Function Test

A Pulmonary Function Test (PFT) is a non-invasive assessment that measures how well your lungs are working. It evaluates airflow, lung volume, and the efficiency of gas exchange to help diagnose respiratory conditions like asthma or COPD. During the test, you breathe into a device called a spirometer, which records your breathing patterns. The results provide valuable information about lung health, airflow obstruction, and how well your lungs expand and contract. PFTs are essential for guiding treatment decisions and monitoring the progression of lung diseases.
