B.Sc PFT Technician at AIIMS Rishikesh Offline Course

The most commonly used lung function screening study. Pulmonary function tests (PFTs) is a generic term used to indicate a battery of studies or manoeuvres that may be performed using standardized equipment to measure lung function. PFTs can include simple screening spirometry, formal lung volume measurement, diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide. A well-trained pulmonary function technician usually coaches the patient through the session until the demonstrated reproducibility of key parameters suggests the results represent the best possible measure of lung function at that time.
