Introduction

Pulmonary function tests (PFTs) are indispensable tools in respiratory medicine, providing critical insights into lung function.

Understanding Spirometry

Spirometry assesses the volume and flow of air in the lungs, with key parameters including FVC and FEV1.

Gas Diffusion Tests

These measure how well gases (like oxygen) pass from the lungs into the blood.

Body Plethysmography

This evaluates lung volume, especially in restrictive lung diseases.

Conclusion

Accurate interpretation of PFTs is crucial for diagnosing, monitoring, and managing respiratory conditions effectively.
