What are Pulmonary Function Studies?

Pulmonary function studies are a series of non-invasive tests used to assess how well your lungs are working. These tests measure lung volume, capacity, rates of flow, and gas exchange. The two primary tests we conduct at Dr. Sikka’s clinic are spirometry and fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) measurements. These tests provide critical information for diagnosing and managing various respiratory conditions, including asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

How Pulmonary Function Studies Work

The process of pulmonary function testing at Dr. Sikka’s clinic involves:

‍

• Spirometry: This test measures the amount of air you can inhale and exhale. You will be asked to breathe into a mouthpiece connected to a spirometer, which records the airflow and provides data on lung function. Spirometry helps diagnose conditions such as asthma, COPD, and other disorders that affect breathing.
• Fractional Exhaled Nitric Oxide (FeNO) Measurement: This test measures the level of nitric oxide produced by your lungs, which is an indicator of inflammation in the airways. By breathing into a specialized device, the FeNO test helps assess and monitor inflammation levels, particularly useful in managing asthma.

Conditions Diagnosed with Pulmonary Function Studies

Dr. Sikka’s clinic utilizes pulmonary function studies to diagnose and manage a range of respiratory conditions, including:

‍

• Asthma: Identifying and monitoring asthma by assessing lung function and airway inflammation.
• Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD): Diagnosing and managing COPD by measuring airflow obstruction.
• Chronic Bronchitis and Emphysema: Evaluating lung function in conditions that cause persistent coughing and difficulty breathing.
• Respiratory Infections: Monitoring lung function during and after infections to ensure proper recovery.
