PFT test

[Guest guest]

Hi P on the spot. http://jan.ucc.nau.edu/~daa/lecture/pft.htm http://www.webmd.com/hw/lung_disease/hw5022.aspjanne5303 wrote: Sher, Remember to get copies of your Pulmonary Function Test. Then you can sit at your computer and find out exactly what it all means. It is so important to keep records and to be informed. P posted the website that explains PFT testing and I know that he would post it again once you get the results. Hugs, Joyce PF 1997>> Sher - I don't know if Peggy sent you an answer yet or not...a PFT is a pulmonary function test....you breathe into a hose that is attached to a computer and the tester tells what to do....breathe in deep...blow out....then they give a bronchodilator that is in nebulized form...then they repeat the test to see if there is any difference. If you are not on oxygen and this is your first PFT they also do a blood test. That's how they can find out how much lung space you have that is working. Some centers do this test while you sit in a clear box...like a telephone booth....others don't. Hope that helps.> > --> Diane Quinlan > dianequinlan@... > scoliosis/PF/2004> > -------------- Original message -------------- > From:
