PFT Spirometer
Pulmonary function tests (PFTs) are a group of tests that measure how well your lungs work. This includes how well you’re able to breathe and how effective your lungs are able to bring oxygen to the rest of your body.
PFTs can help diagnose:
- Asthma
- Allergies
- Chronic bronchitis
- Respiratory infections
- Rung fibrosis
- Bronchiectasis, a condition in which the airways in the lungs stretch and widen
- COPD, which used to be called emphysema
- Asbestosis, a condition caused by exposure to asbestos
- Sarcoidosis, an inflammation of your lungs, liver, lymph nodes, eyes, skin, or other tissues
- Scleroderma, a disease that affects your connective tissue
- Pulmonary tumor
- Lung cancer
- Weaknesses of the chest wall muscles
