Pulmonary Function Testing

This noninvasive test measures your lung volume, capacity, flow rates, and gas exchange. All of these factors combine to tell us if you have some sort of lung disease or disorder, as well as what the best form of treatment may be moving forward.

About

Pulmonary function testing

Our PFT test can show us how much air your lungs draw in, how much you exhale per minute, how much air is left in the lungs after exhalation, your lung capacity, and much more. We create a full picture around your concerns, allowing us to suggest the best possible treatment

Pulmonary function testing

How does the
Test work

Our respiratory team will walk you through every step of the process, including preparing you for the test and then through the test itself. The pulmonary functions test involves a series of breathing in specific ways. You’ll be instructed by your test administrator and observed for symptoms of poor perfusion. Once the test is complete, your pulmonologist will interpret all the numbers — including total lung capacity, residual volume, tidal volume, and other important values obtained from the PFT — to make a clinical diagnosis and develop a treatment plan.

Obstructive vs.
Restrictive problems

  • Obstructive: An obstructive problem indicates that there is an airway resistance that is decreasing the flow of air.
  • Restrictive: Restrictive issues indicated that the lung tissue or chest muscles themselves cannot expand enough, causing concerns with the lung volume of the patient.
