Diagnopein PFT - PULMONARY FUNCTIONAL TEST Centre in Karad

Pulmonary Function Test (PFT) is a group of breathing tests that measure how well your lungs work. It helps doctors evaluate lung capacity, airflow, and gas exchange efficiency. A PFT assesses how well air moves in and out of the lungs, and how efficiently oxygen is transferred into the blood. At Diagnopien, we use advanced spirometry and lung function analysis equipment to ensure accurate results for every patient.

PFT is highly recommended for individuals with chronic cough, shortness of breath, asthma, COPD, or other respiratory conditions. It is also an essential pre-operative tool for evaluating lung health before major surgery.

Importance of Pulmonary Function Test

The PFT – Pulmonary Function Test plays a critical role in diagnosing, monitoring, and managing respiratory disorders. By understanding lung performance, doctors can make accurate treatment plans and track disease progression.

This test is vital for:

  1. Detecting breathing problems early in high-risk individuals such as smokers and industrial workers.

  2. Monitoring conditions like asthma, chronic bronchitis, and interstitial lung disease.

  3. Assessing lung function before medical treatments or surgeries.

  4. Evaluating the effectiveness of respiratory medications.

  5. Differentiating between restrictive and obstructive lung diseases.

Regular PFT testing can prevent serious complications and improve long-term respiratory wellness. Diagnopien’s Pulmonary Function Test center in Karad provides accurate, patient-friendly testing using latest diagnostic equipment.

How PFT – Pulmonary Function Test is Done

At Diagnopien, the Pulmonary Function Test is performed by trained technicians under hygienic and comfortable conditions. No fasting or injections are needed for this test. The entire process usually takes 30–40 minutes.

Procedure steps:

  1. The patient is seated and asked to wear a nose clip.

  2. Using a spirometer, the patient breathes in and out forcefully through a mouthpiece.

  3. The device measures the amount and speed of airflow.

  4. The test may include deep-breathing or breath-holding methods for additional assessment.

Special instructions:

  1. Avoid heavy meals and smoking before the test.

  2. Bring medical prescriptions if using inhalers or bronchodilators.

  3. If you have any dizziness or chest discomfort, inform the technician immediately.

Diagnopien ensures maximum care and precision during the PFT test to provide reliable, accurate reports that help your doctor make informed decisions.

Parameters Measured in Pulmonary Function Test

Pulmonary Function Tests calculate multiple respiratory parameters that provide valuable information about lung function and health. The main PFT parameters include:

  1. FEV1 (Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 second): Measures how much air you can forcefully exhale in one second.

  2. FVC (Forced Vital Capacity): Indicates the total volume of air exhaled forcefully after a deep breath.

  3. FEV1/FVC ratio: Helps determine whether a person has an obstructive or restrictive lung condition.

  4. PEF (Peak Expiratory Flow): Tests the highest airflow speed during exhalation.

  5. TLC (Total Lung Capacity): Determines the overall lung space available for air.

  6. DLCO (Diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide): Assesses how well oxygen transfers from lungs to the blood.

These parameters together help physicians understand lung strength, elasticity, and oxygen absorption ability. Diagnopien’s modern PFT testing equipment ensures full parameter reporting and precise interpretation.
