Measuring How Effectively Your Lungs Move Air
A Pulmonary Function Test (PFT)—most commonly performed via digital spirometry—is a simple, non-invasive breathing test that evaluates how well your lungs are working. While a Chest X-Ray shows the physical structure of the lungs, a PFT measures functional performance: how much air your lungs can hold and how quickly you can exhale it.
Wellbeing Healthcare Services offers Pulmonary Function Testing (PFT) in Surat to assist physicians, pulmonologists, and surgeons in evaluating respiratory symptoms such as chronic cough, shortness of breath, wheezing, or reduced stamina.
During the test, the patient breathes into a calibrated spirometer sensor through a sterile, single-use disposable mouthpiece and filter while guided step-by-step by a trained technician.
Test interpretation and medical decisions should be made by a qualified healthcare professional. Information on this website is for general informational purposes and is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
What a Pulmonary Function Test Measures
PFT recordings capture key respiratory parameters that help your doctor evaluate airway and lung function:
Forced Vital Capacity (FVC)
Measures the maximum total volume of air you can forcefully exhale after taking the deepest possible breath in.
Forced Expiratory Volume (FEV1)
Measures how much air you can exhale in the first second—a key indicator of whether airways are narrowed or clear.
FEV1 / FVC Ratio
Helps clinicians distinguish between obstructive airway patterns (such as asthma or COPD) and restrictive lung patterns.
Peak Expiratory Flow (PEF)
Records the maximum speed of airflow achieved during a forceful exhalation.
Pre- & Post-Bronchodilator Comparison
When prescribed by a doctor, measurements are taken before and after an inhaler puff to check airway reversibility.
Graphical Flow-Volume Loops
Produces standard spirometry graphs and predicted percentage tables based on age, height, and gender for your doctor.
When Do Doctors Recommend a PFT Test?
Pulmonary function testing provides objective data for diagnosing and monitoring respiratory health:
Ask About PFT (Lung Test)Persistent Cough or Wheezing
Evaluating unexplained shortness of breath, chest tightness, or chronic cough lasting several weeks.
Asthma & COPD Monitoring
Assessing baseline lung capacity and checking how well inhaler therapy is controlling airway narrowing.
Pre-Surgical Fitness Check
Frequently ordered by surgeons and anesthesiologists before planned abdominal, orthopedic, or cardiac surgery.
Post-Infection & Occupational Screening
Checking lung recovery after respiratory illnesses or for individuals exposed to dust, smoke, or textile/industrial fumes.

Your physician may advise a PFT if you or a family member:
- Experience breathlessness while walking, climbing stairs, or performing routine daily tasks
- Have a history of seasonal wheezing, allergies, asthma, or chronic bronchitis
- Are a current or former smoker and need a baseline lung capacity assessment
