Why Might I Need Pulmonary Function Tests?

Your doctor may recommend a pulmonary function test to:

Diagnose conditions such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), or interstitial lung disease.
Monitor the progression of lung disorders.
Assess the impact of medications or treatments on lung health.
Evaluate lung function before major surgeries.

How to Prepare for Pulmonary Function Tests

Avoid smoking, alcohol, heavy meals, or intense exercise before the test.
Wear loose, comfortable clothing.
Inform your doctor about any ongoing medications.
Remove jewellery or accessories that might affect breathing.

What Happens During Pulmonary Function Tests?

A PFT typically includes two primary methods:

Spirometry: Measures how much and how quickly you can exhale air from your lungs.
Plethysmography: Determines lung volume by measuring pressure changes in an enclosed space.

During the test, you will breathe into a mouthpiece connected to a machine. The procedure is simple, painless, and usually completed within 30–60 minutes.

Pulmonary Function Test Results

PFT results help analyze different aspects of lung function:

FEV1 (Forced Expiratory Volume): Measures the air exhaled in the first second.
FVC (Forced Vital Capacity): Assesses total air exhaled after a deep breath.
TLC (Total Lung Capacity): Indicates the maximum air volume the lungs can hold.
RV (Residual Volume): The air left in the lungs after a complete exhalation.
DLCO (Diffusion Capacity): Measures how well oxygen moves from the lungs into the bloodstream.

Normal ranges are:

FEV1: 80%–120%
FVC: 80%–120%
TLC: 80%–120%
