Computerized Pulmonary Function Testing (PFT) & Spirometry Suite
Advanced computerized spirometry measuring lung volumes, airway resistance, and bronchodilator reversibility.
Comprehensive lung physiology evaluation performed using calibrated computerized spirometers. Essential for the definitive diagnosis, staging, and monitoring of Asthma, COPD, Interstitial Lung Disease, and pre-operative cardiopulmonary risk assessment.
When Is This Care Recommended?
Shortness of Breath on Exertion
Differentiating whether breathlessness arises from pulmonary airway obstruction, restriction, or deconditioning.
Asthma & Wheezing Diagnosis
Measuring FEV1/FVC ratios and demonstrating reversible airway obstruction with post-bronchodilator challenge.
COPD Staging & Progression
GOLD guideline staging (Mild, Moderate, Severe, Very Severe) to guide inhaler and triple-therapy selection.
Pre-Operative Fitness Clearance
Screening pulmonary reserve before major cardiothoracic, abdominal, or joint replacement surgeries.
Occupational & Environmental Exposure
Baseline and periodic screening for individuals exposed to industrial dust, chemical fumes, or construction silica.
Monitoring Medication Response
Objective tracking of therapeutic improvement following steroid inhaler, biological, or antifibrotic treatment.
Advanced Technology & Clinical Protocols
Ultrasonic Flow Sensor Spirometer
Zero-resistance ultrasonic measurement unaffected by humidity, gas temperature, or barometric fluctuations.
Pre- & Post-Bronchodilator Reversibility
Testing lung volumes before and 15 minutes after inhaled salbutamol to definitively confirm reversible bronchospasm.
Real-Time Visual Incentive Graphics
Interactive screen displays guiding the patient to achieve maximum inhalation and forced expiratory effort (FVC).
Six-Minute Walk Test (6MWT) Integration
Standardized corridor walk testing continuous pulse oximetry to evaluate functional exercise capacity and desaturation.
Step-by-Step Clinical Journey
Patient Calibration
Recording accurate standing height, weight, and age to calculate standardized normative predictive reference values.
Baseline Spirometry Trials
Seated comfortably with a nose clip, the patient breathes into a sterile bacterial/viral filter mouthpiece following clear instructions.
Bronchodilator Reversibility Test
Administering 4 puffs of short-acting bronchodilator via spacer, resting for 15 minutes, then repeating the maneuvers.
Expert Pulmonologist Consultation
Immediate color graphical report interpretation and customized prescription guidance with Dr. Manoj Maske.
