What is a Pulmonary Function Test (PFT)?

A PFT is a non-invasive diagnostic procedure used to see how well your lungs are working. It measures lung volume, capacity, rates of flow, and gas exchange. This information helps our specialists diagnose and manage conditions such as:

• Asthma and COPD
• Post-COVID respiratory issues
• Occupational lung diseases
• Pre-operative lung assessment

Why Choose Inova Hospital for your PFT?

Most centers in Nepal offer basic Spirometry, which requires the patient to blow forcefully into a tube. At Inova, we have introduced Advanced PFT, featuring:

1. Spirometry (The Gold Standard)

The essential test for measuring how much air you can inhale and how quickly you can exhale.

2. Forced Oscillation Technique (FOT) – “Effortless Testing”

Inova is one of the few hospitals in Nepal to offer FOT. Unlike traditional tests, FOT requires only normal breathing.

• Ideal for: Elderly patients, children, and post-surgery patients.
• Accuracy: Detects “small airway disease” that traditional tests often miss.
