Pulmonary Function Test (PFT)/Spirometry Test

A pulmonary function test (PFT) or spirometry test measures how well the lungs take in and release air and move gases such as oxygen from the atmosphere into the body. The PFT can be used to assess the effects of toxic substances such as isocyanides on the lungs, check the suitability of wearing self-contained breathing equipment, and assess whether people are fit to occupy strenuous positions, among other things. The PFT is common in ongoing exposure surveillance programs. 

CannAmm’s PFT includes:

  • Obtaining a blood pressure reading
  • Documenting a comprehensive substance exposure history and health history
  • Determining current lung function status by checking for recent symptoms and recent exposure.

A trained technician then conducts a spirometry test to assess actual lung function. The technical equipment measures total lung volume and expiration velocity (volume over time). Contact CannAmm today at 1-800-440-0023 to book testing.
