A Pulmonary Function Test (PFT) is a diagnostic test used to assess lung function and detect conditions like asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and other respiratory disorders. It helps measure how well the lungs take in and release air and how efficiently they transfer oxygen into the blood. Symptoms indicating the need for a PFT include shortness of breath, chronic cough, wheezing, chest tightness, and difficulty in performing physical activities due to breathlessness. The test usually takes 30 to 60 minutes and involves breathing into a specialized device to measure lung capacity and airflow. The benefits include early detection of lung diseases, monitoring of existing respiratory conditions, and guiding effective treatment plans. Dr. Mayank Kapur is a highly experienced specialist in conducting and interpreting PFTs, ensuring accurate diagnoses. For instance, a patient with unexplained breathing issues underwent a PFT with Dr. Mayank Kapur, leading to timely treatment and significant improvement in lung health.
