What is Pulmonary Function Test/Lung Function Test/Spirometry?

A Pulmonary Function Test (PFT), also known as a Lung Function Test or Spirometry, measures how well the lungs are working. It involves breathing into a device called a spirometer, which records various aspects of lung function, such as the amount of air inhaled and exhaled, and how quickly the air can be exhaled.

The test is commonly used to diagnose conditions like asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and other respiratory disorders. It is non-invasive, painless, and typically takes about 15-30 minutes.

Results help doctors assess lung health and determine appropriate treatments or interventions.

What to expect & how to prepare

Pulmonary Function Test/Lung Function Test/Spirometry is performed at a diagnostic centre or hospital lab. A trained technician collects the required sample (commonly a blood draw, urine sample, swab or an imaging scan, depending on the test) and sends it to the lab for analysis. Most routine tests take only a few minutes to sample, with reports typically ready the same day or within 24–48 hours.

• Fasting: some tests require 8–12 hours of fasting (water is usually allowed). Ask the centre when you book.
• Medication: tell the lab about any medicines or supplements you take, as some can affect results.
• Timing: certain hormone and biochemistry tests are best done in the morning — confirm the recommended time.
• Report: always have a registered doctor interpret your Pulmonary Function Test/Lung Function Test/Spirometry result rather than self-diagnosing.
