Having trouble breathing?
It could be time to talk to your doctor about a Pulmonary Function Test (PFT),
PFTs are a group of tests that measure how well your lungs work. They help diagnose a range of lung disorders.
Ask your Doctor if a PFT is right for you.
Do you suffer from
Why suffer any longer?
With results in just 20 minutes we test for the following:
PFTs can help diagnose:
-
Asthma
-
Allergies
-
Chronic Bronchitis
-
Respiratory Infections
-
Lung Fibrosis
-
Bronchiectasis
-
Chronic Obstructive Pumonary Disease (COPD),
which is used to be called emphysema -
Sarcoidosis, which is an inflammation of your lungs, liver,
lymph nodes, eyes, skin and other tissues -
Abestosis, which is a condition caused by exposure to asbestosis
-
Scleroderma, which is a disease that affects your connective tissue
-
Pulmonary tumor
-
Lung cancer
OUR TESTS COVERS THE FOLLOWING:
PFT Measures
Tidal Volume (TV)
The amount of air inhaled or exhaled during normal breathing.
Minute Volume (MV)
The total amount of air exhaled per minute.
Vital Capacity (VC)
The total volume of air that can be exhaled after inhaling as much as you can.
Residual Volume (RV)
The amount of air left in the lungs after exhaling as much as you can.
Total Lung Capacity (TLC)
The total volume of lungs when filled with as much air as possible.
Functional Residual Capacity (FRC)
The amount of air left in the lungs after exhaling normally.
Forced Vital Capacity (FVC)
The amount of air exhaled forcefully and quickly after inhaling as much as you can.
Forced Expiratory Volume (FEV)
The amount of air expired during the first, second, and third seconds of the FVC test.
Forced Expiratory Flow (FEF)
The average rate of flow during the middle half of the FVC test.
Peak Expiratory Flow Rate (PEFR)
The fastest rate that you can force air out of your lungs
