Accurate Lung Health Evaluation with Advanced Pulmonary Function Testing (PFT)
Measure how well your lungs take in and release air and how efficiently they transfer oxygen into your blood. Get precise diagnostics with state-of-the-art computerized spirometry under senior pulmonology consultants at Arihant Hospital, Dehradun.
Do You Need a Pulmonary Function Test (PFT)?
PFTs are vital for diagnosing breathing conditions, monitoring lung disorders, or evaluating pre-surgical fitness. Select any conditions or symptoms you are experiencing:
Early PFT diagnostics can detect restrictive and obstructive lung conditions like COPD, asthma, or pulmonary fibrosis long before symptoms become severe, ensuring timely and effective medical treatment.
What Pulmonary Function Testing Measures
PFT evaluates multiple parameters of respiratory efficiency to pinpoint the exact nature of breathing impairment.
Airflow Obstruction (FEV1 / FVC)
Detects narrowing of airways characteristic of asthma, chronic bronchitis, and COPD.
Lung Volume Capacity
Measures total air your lungs can hold to identify restrictive lung disorders or chest wall stiffness.
Gas Exchange Efficiency
Assesses how effectively oxygen crosses from lung alveoli into your bloodstream.

Spirometry Maneuver
Taking a deep breath and blowing forcefully into a computerized sensor tube connected to digital analyzers.
Bronchodilator Response
Re-testing after inhaling a quick-acting medication to check if airway obstruction is reversible.
Expert Consultation
Detailed review of graphical curves and numerical reports with our Senior Pulmonologist.
Explore PFT Test Components & Services
Standard Spirometry & Reversibility Testing
The primary PFT test measuring volume and speed of airflow. Essential for differentiating between asthma and COPD, and evaluating response to bronchodilators.
- Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) measurement
- Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 second (FEV1)
- Post-bronchodilator reversibility assessment
Advanced Lung Volumes & DLCO Diffusion
Measures residual air remaining in lungs after complete exhalation and evaluates gas transfer capability across alveolar membranes.
- Total Lung Capacity (TLC) evaluation
- Residual Volume (RV) calculations
- Carbon monoxide diffusion capacity (DLCO)
Pulmonary Rehabilitation & Post-Test Care
Once test results are analyzed, our specialists formulate personalized management programs combining breathing exercises, lifestyle advice, and medication.
- Supervised breathing retraining techniques
- Customized inhaler technique training
- Continuous respiratory health monitoring
Accurate PFT Diagnostics: The Foundation of Effective Respiratory Treatment
Guesswork in respiratory care leads to ineffective medications. High-precision PFT results allow our pulmonary specialists to precisely target airway inflammation, prescribe correct inhaler dosages, and track recovery milestones accurately.
