Pulmonary Function Test
Lung function tests, also known as pulmonary function tests, evaluate how efficiently your lungs breathe in and out. The effectiveness of your lungs’ ability to carry oxygen to the blood may be assessed, depending on the tests utilised.
What is it advised for?
With the help of pulmonary function tests, your specialist can:
- Find a constriction in your lungs’ airways;
- Recognize early alterations in the capacity of your lungs to provide oxygen to your blood;
- Determine whether a medication, such as a bronchodilator, could be beneficial;
- Indicate whether lung damage from environmental exposure to substances;
- Analyze your tolerance for surgery and other medical procedures;
- Identify the course of your treatment accurately, measure the impact of chronic disorders like cystic fibrosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), or asthma on lung function.
