Welcome to Daviess Community Hospital, your premier destination for comprehensive pulmonary function tests (PFTs) in southwestern Indiana. Our state-of-the-art facilities and experienced healthcare professionals are dedicated to providing you with accurate and timely assessments of your lung function.
Pulmonary function tests are a group of non-invasive tests that measure how well your lungs are working. These tests can help diagnose various pulmonary conditions, monitor the progression of lung diseases, and evaluate the effectiveness of treatment plans. PFTs are essential for patients experiencing symptoms such as shortness of breath, chronic cough, wheezing, or those with known respiratory conditions.
Spirometry measures the amount and speed of air you can inhale and exhale, helping diagnose conditions like asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and other respiratory disorders.
Lung volume tests determine the total amount of air your lungs can hold. This information is crucial for diagnosing restrictive lung diseases such as pulmonary fibrosis.
The diffusion capacity test measures how well your lungs can transfer oxygen into your blood. This test is vital for detecting conditions affecting the lung’s ability to exchange gases, like emphysema or pulmonary hypertension.
