What is a PFT Pre and Post Test in Bangalore ?

PFT Pre and Post measures how well your lungs move air and how the airways respond to a bronchodilator. It records values like forced expiratory volume (FEV1) and forced vital capacity (FVC). These numbers show airflow and lung volume. They help detect asthma, COPD, and restrictive lung diseases. The pre-test measurement gives a baseline. The post-test after a bronchodilator shows whether airways improve. Doctors use the results to diagnose lung problems, grade severity, check treatment response, and guide medication choices. Tests also help decide fitness for surgery and track disease over time.

PFT Pre and Post Test Preparation in Bangalore

Do not smoke or use inhalers for 4–24 hours before test as your doctor instructs

PFT Pre and Post Test Parameters in Bangalore

The PFT Pre and Post test evaluates various parameters related to the different components. Here are the main parameters that are checked in the test:

  • Spirometry (pre and post bronchodilator)
  • FEV1
  • FVC
  • FEV1/FVC ratio
  • peak expiratory flow

Why Take a PFT Pre and Post Test in Bangalore ?

PFT Pre and Post is usually part of a pulmonary function testing panel used when patients have breathlessness, chronic cough, wheeze or suspected asthma or COPD. Doctors order it to diagnose airway obstruction, measure severity, and see if bronchodilator medicines improve airflow. Abnormal results can come from smoking, infections, chronic lung disease, environmental exposures, or some medications. A family history of asthma or COPD may make this test especially important.

What are the two categories of PFT in Bangalore?plus

Pulmonary function tests fall into two main categories: spirometry and full lung function testing. Spirometry assesses airflow and obstruction using measures like FEV1 and FVC. Full lung function tests measure lung volumes (via body plethysmography or gas dilution) and gas transfer (diffusing capacity/DLCO), helping detect restrictive disease and quantify gas-exchange impairment.

What should you not do before a PFT test in Bangalore?plus

Do not smoke for at least an hour before the test; avoid vigorous exercise for 30 minutes; don’t use bronchodilator inhalers or other respiratory medications unless your clinic has told you to continue (follow their instructions); avoid heavy meals and alcohol beforehand; and don’t wear tight clothing that restricts breathing. Arrive rested and bring a list of current medications.

What is pre and post-bronchodilator in Bangalore?plus

Pre-bronchodilator measurement is the spirometry (lung function) reading taken before giving a bronchodilator. Post-bronchodilator is the repeat measurement taken after inhaling a bronchodilator (usually 10–15 minutes later). Comparing the two assesses reversibility of airflow obstruction; a significant rise in FEV1 (generally ≥12% and ≥200 mL) suggests reversible airway disease such as asthma.

What is the normal range of PFT in Bangalore?plus

Pulmonary function normal ranges vary by age, sex, height and ethnicity. Typical cutoffs: FEV1 and FVC ≥80% of predicted, FEV1/FVC ratio ≥70% (or above the lower limit of normal for age), total lung capacity (TLC) 80–120% predicted, and diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO) 80–120% predicted. Values outside these ranges suggest obstructive, restrictive, or gas-exchange impairment.

What are the 4 pulmonary function tests in Bangalore?plus

Four main pulmonary function tests are: 1) Spirometry — measures airflow and volumes (FEV1, FVC). 2) Lung volumes — measured by body plethysmography or gas dilution to assess total lung capacity and residual volume. 3) Diffusing capacity (DLCO) — evaluates gas transfer across the alveolar membrane. 4) Gas-exchange tests — pulse oximetry and arterial blood gas analysis assess oxygenation and CO2 elimination.

What are the two components of PFT in Bangalore?plus

Pulmonary function testing has two main components: spirometry and lung volume/gas‑transfer assessment. Spirometry measures airflow and volumes (e.g., FEV1, FVC, flow–volume loops) to identify obstruction or restriction. The second component measures lung volumes (often by plethysmography) and diffusion capacity (DLCO) to evaluate hyperinflation, restrictive defects and efficiency of gas exchange across the alveolar membrane.
