PFT is a way of measuring the functions of the respiratory system by monitoring the efficiency of the lungs. The readings are measured by performing the test in a hospital or in a chest physician’s clinic.
Patients are required to breathe into a mouthpiece that is connected to a machine that monitors the capacity of the lungs to hold air. PFT is important for patients of any known respiratory disorder, as a pre-surgery diagnostic test, or for those who regularly get exposed to harmful fumes and toxic elements at their workplace.
Galaxy Multispeciality Hospital and Critical Care Center Latur has a state-of-the-art facility for performing PFT. The test is performed only by qualified and experienced M.D doctors.
