Summary

The provider performs a pulmonary function test, or PFT, to assess the patient’s lung volumes using gas dilution or washout techniques that compare a known concentration of an inhaled gas with the patient’s exhaled breath. The provider also may test the patient’s ventilation distribution and closing volumes.
