Pulmonary Function Testing (PFT)

Pulmonary function testing (PFT) is a series of tests that measure how well the lungs are able to move air in and out and how well they are able to transfer oxygen into the bloodstream. These tests are used to diagnose and monitor a variety of lung conditions, such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and lung cancer. TGH Urgent Care powered by Fast Track, is a great option for individuals in Florida who need to undergo PFT.

One of the key tests included in PFT is spirometry, which measures the amount of air a person can inhale and exhale and how quickly they can do it. This test is used to diagnose and monitor conditions such as asthma and COPD. The test is performed by having the individual blow into a device called a spirometer, which measures the amount of air being inhaled and exhaled.

Another test included in PFT is called a lung volume test. This test measures the amount of air in the lungs at different points in the breathing cycle. It is used to diagnose conditions such as emphysema, which is a type of COPD characterized by damage to the air sacs in the lungs.

PFT also includes a diffusion capacity test, which measures how well the lungs are able to transfer oxygen into the bloodstream. This test is used to diagnose and monitor conditions such as interstitial lung disease, which is a group of disorders characterized by inflammation and scarring of the lung tissue.

TGH Urgent Care powered by Fast Track, offers Pulmonary Function Testing (PFT) by appointment only.  To schedule this test, patients should email clientservices@fasttrackurgentcare.com and our skilled staff will follow up to arrange your appointment.  The PFT procedure takes approximately 30 minutes, and the results are promptly accessible.

This makes the process of undergoing PFT as easy and stress-free as possible for patients.

Pulmonary function testing is an important tool in the diagnosis and management of lung conditions. It can provide critical information on the functioning of the lungs, which can help healthcare providers determine the best course of treatment for their patients. For example, if the PFT results show that a patient has a decreased lung function, the healthcare provider may recommend lifestyle changes, such as quitting smoking or may refer the patient to a specialist for further evaluation and treatment.

Additionally, PFT can also be used to monitor the progress of a patient’s treatment. For example, if a patient is being treated for asthma, PFT can be used to track the patient’s lung function over time. This can help healthcare providers determine if the treatment is effective or if adjustments need to be made.

Another important aspect of PFT is that it is non-invasive, meaning that it does not involve any surgical procedures or injections. This makes it a safe and comfortable option for patients of all ages. Moreover, PFT does not have any significant side effects, and patients can return to their normal activities immediately after the test.

Furthermore, TGH Urgent Care powered by Fast Track, also offers tests such as peak flow measurement, which can help measure the patient’s ability to exhale air from their lungs forcefully. It’s especially useful for patients with asthma as it helps to monitor the severity of asthma symptoms and to adjust treatment accordingly. Also, they offer a bronchodilator responsiveness test, which helps to assess how well the airways respond to medication.
