Pulmonary Function Tests and Spirometry
If you are experiencing breathing issues or lung problems, we may employ a pulmonary function test (PFT) such as a spirometry to provide an accurate diagnosis and develop an effective treatment plan.
What is spirometry?
Spirometry is a simple in-office test that’s used to see how well your lungs function. The test measures how much you inhale and exhale, as well as how quickly you exhale.
What is spirometry used for?
We use spirometry to diagnose breathing issues such as asthma or COPD. It’s also used for evaluating shortness of breath or persistent cough and is helpful in monitoring ongoing lung function.
