Lung Function Tests

Our Respiratory Medicine Department offers a range of diagnostic and treatment options for respiratory conditions, including lung function tests such as Spirometry, Dlco Estimation, and the 6-minute Walk Test.

These tests play a crucial role in evaluating lung function and diagnosing various Respiratory Disorders.

Spirometry is a common test used to assess how well your lungs work by measuring how much air you inhale, how much you exhale, and how quickly you exhale. It helps in diagnosing conditions such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and other lung diseases.

Dlco (Diffusing Capacity of the Lungs for Carbon Monoxide) estimation measures how well oxygen moves from the lungs into the bloodstream. It helps in assessing the efficiency of gas exchange in the lungs and diagnosing conditions such as pulmonary fibrosis, emphysema, and interstitial lung diseases.

The 6-minute walk test is a simple and reliable assessment of functional exercise capacity. It measures how far you can walk in 6 minutes and provides valuable information about your exercise tolerance and overall cardiorespiratory fitness. This test is often used to evaluate the severity of heart and lung diseases and to monitor treatment effectiveness.
