PFT (Pulmonary Function Test) in Bhubaneswar
Has your doctor recommended a PFT? Shri Medscan Imaging Center offers a simple, non-invasive pulmonary function test to check your lung health, with results interpreted alongside your clinical history. Visit us at Damana Square, Chandrasekharpur, or AIIMS Road, Patrapada.
What Is a PFT (Pulmonary Function Test)?
A PFT, commonly known as spirometry, measures how well your lungs are working. It checks your lung volume, how fast you can breathe air out, and how well oxygen moves into your blood.
The test is simple and non-invasive. You breathe into a device called a spirometer, following clear instructions from our technician. There are no needles and no discomfort involved.
Why Choose Shri Medscan for Your PFT
Our team guides you through each breathing effort so your results are accurate and reliable. Every PFT report is reviewed alongside your clinical history by a qualified physician. If your doctor has also asked for chest imaging, we offer Digital X-Ray and CT scan at the same centre, which are often paired with a PFT for a complete lung health assessment.
When Is a PFT Recommended
Doctors commonly recommend a PFT in the following situations. This is general guidance only, and your doctor will advise on what is right for you.
Asthma & Breathlessness
A PFT can help assess how asthma or unexplained breathlessness is affecting your breathing capacity.
COPD Evaluation
Often used to assess and monitor chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
Pre-Surgical Lung Assessment
Many surgeries require a PFT beforehand to check that your lungs can safely handle anaesthesia and recovery.
Occupational Screening
Recommended for people in certain workplace environments to screen for lung health changes over time.
How to Prepare for Your PFT
Avoid Heavy Meals
Eat a light meal before your appointment, since a full stomach can make deep breathing harder.
Avoid Smoking
Avoid smoking for at least a few hours before your test, as it can affect your results.
Medication Instructions
Check with your doctor about whether to pause certain inhalers before your test. Our team will also confirm this when you book.
