PFT at Home

As the Covid-19 pandemic spreads across the globe, understanding the contagion and the impact that has made it a pandemic is critical. Covid-19 primarily infects the lungs of affected individuals and, in severe cases, can lead to death from pneumonia and ARDS (acute respiratory distress syndrome). Therefore, it is very important to have a check for respiratory health, especially the lungs. Pulmonary function tests (PFT) include certain tests that measure lung function.
A pulmonary function test (PFT), also called pulmonary function test or spirometry, is a simple, non-invasive test to determine how well your lungs are working. PFT measures your breathing capacity and how quickly air moves in and out of your lungs. PFT can be used to diagnose shortness of breath and certain lung diseases such as asthma, emphysema, and COPD. PFT is also used to check lung function before surgery. These at-home PFTs of him must be performed by a trained technician and do their best to exhale and inhale air. These steps can be repeated multiple times for accurate results.
