Pulmonary Function Test in Bangalore
About the Pulmonary Function Test
The Pulmonary Function Test (PFT) measures lung volume, capacity, flow rates, and gas exchange to assess breathing ability using specialized equipment. This essential diagnostic test helps doctors detect asthma, diagnose COPD, evaluate lung function, identify restrictive diseases, assess pneumonia, detect occupational lung diseases, monitor progression, evaluate treatments, assess pre-surgical fitness, and guide respiratory treatment decisions. PFT is non-invasive and comprehensive for lung assessment. Doctors recommend for chronic cough, wheezing, shortness of breath, smoking history, occupational exposure, pre-surgery, or respiratory screening. With Seviyaar, patients access NABL-certified centers for accurate PFT testing.
