A PFT is a series of tests used to measure lung function, including air flow, lung volume, and gas exchange, to diagnose and monitor respiratory conditions.

Avoid smoking and heavy meals before the test, inform your healthcare provider about any medications, and wear comfortable clothing.

Key parameters include Forced Vital Capacity (FVC), Forced Expiratory Volume (FEV1), Peak Expiratory Flow (PEF), Residual Volume (RV), and Diffusing Capacity (DLCO).

The Pulmonary Function Test at Chirayu SuperSpeciality Hospital is priced at ₹1500.

Risks include infection, bleeding, neurological deficits, and complications related to anesthesia. Your surgeon will discuss these in detail.

Pus samples are collected using sterile techniques and cultured to identify the specific microorganisms causing the infection.

Results typically take a few days to allow for culture growth and sensitivity testing. Rapid methods may provide preliminary results sooner.

A positive result indicates the presence of bacteria or fungi in the pus sample, helping to diagnose and treat localized infections effectively.

Yes, the test identifies the specific microorganism causing the infection and determines its susceptibility to antibiotics or antifungal medications.

Minimal risks include slight discomfort during sample collection and rarely, infection at the puncture site. Sterile techniques minimize these risks.
