There are several types of PFTs, each focusing on different aspects of lung function:
Spirometry: Measures the amount of air a person can exhale forcefully after a deep breath. It evaluates airflow obstruction, essential in diagnosing asthma and COPD.
Lung Volume Measurement: Also known as body plethysmography, this test measures the volume of air in the lungs, including the amount that remains after a full exhale. It helps determine lung capacity and diagnose restrictive lung diseases.
Diffusion Capacity Test (DLCO): Assesses how well the lungs can transfer oxygen from the air into the bloodstream. This test is crucial for diagnosing conditions affecting gas exchange, such as pulmonary fibrosis.
Peak Flow Measurement: Often used by asthma patients, this test measures the peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR) or how fast a person can exhale. Regular monitoring helps in tracking asthma control and adjusting treatment.
Methacholine Challenge Test: Used primarily to confirm asthma, this test involves inhaling methacholine to provoke bronchoconstriction, or narrowing of the airways, and measuring any decrease in lung function.
PFTs are essential tools for:
PFTs are safe, quick, and highly informative, helping doctors make informed decisions to optimize respiratory health.
Good Life Diagnostics in Ram Nagar, Shahdara, Delhi offers comprehensive pulmonary function testing (PFT) using calibrated spirometry equipment. Our trained technicians guide patients through the breathing manoeuvres to ensure accurate and reproducible results. PFT helps assess lung capacity, airflow, and gas exchange efficiency, providing essential data for diagnosing and managing respiratory conditions.
PFT is recommended for evaluating chronic cough, shortness of breath, wheezing, and suspected asthma or COPD. It is essential for pre-operative assessment before thoracic or major abdominal surgery, monitoring the progression of interstitial lung disease, assessing the impact of occupational exposure to dusts and chemicals, and evaluating disability claims. Regular PFTs help pulmonologists adjust treatment plans and track disease progression over time.
