Conducting the research of ERF (basic) with a description of the results (spirography)

Pulmonary function testing (PFT) using spirometry is one of the primary methods for diagnosing respiratory system diseases. In the "Dobrobut" medical network in Kyiv, this method allows for the assessment of lung function, identification of possible deviations, and determination of their causes to initiate timely treatment. The study of PFT through spirometry is also a key factor in diagnosing chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, pneumonia, and other disorders. Early diagnosis of lung diseases is critical for ensuring effective therapy.

When to Consult a Doctor

You should consult a doctor if you experience any of the following symptoms:

  • Cough, especially with sputum production.
  • Difficulty breathing or shortness of breath.
  • Wheezing or whistling sounds during breathing.
  • Persistent fatigue and loss of energy.
  • Presence of allergies or harmful habits that may affect respiratory function.

Methods for Conducting PFT

Pulmonary function testing (PFT) includes the following methods:

  • Spirometry: the main method that measures the volumes and speed of air flowing through the lungs during breathing.
  • Bronchodilator Testing: assesses the effectiveness of bronchodilator medications in patients with obstructive diseases, performed if deviations were noted during spirometry.

Indications for the Procedure:

  • Suspected obstructive or restrictive lung diseases (conditions accompanied by reduced lung capacity).
  • Monitoring lung function in patients with asthma or COPD.
  • Assessing the effectiveness of treatment for respiratory diseases.
  • Preparation for surgeries on the respiratory organs.

Contraindications:

  • Acute respiratory infections.
  • Presence of serious comorbidities.
  • Exacerbation of cardiovascular diseases.

How the Procedure is Conducted

During spirometry, the patient performs several breathing maneuvers into a special device — a spirometer. The procedure includes the following steps:

  • Preparation: the patient should avoid heavy physical exertion, smoking, and caffeine intake for several hours before the examination.
  • Procedure: the patient sits or stands in a comfortable position, closes the nose with a clip, and breathes into the spirometer, following the doctor’s instructions.
  • Measurement: several breathing maneuvers are performed to obtain accurate results.

Result Interpretation

After the study, the results of the spirometry are analyzed by the doctor. Typically, the following parameters are evaluated:

  • Maximum expiratory flow (PEF).
  • Total volume exhaled (FVC).
  • Volume of air exhaled in the first second (FEV1).
  • FEV1/FVC ratio, which helps determine if there is obstruction (blockage of the airways). The doctor provides comments and recommendations for further steps based on the obtained data.

The cost of pulmonary function testing (PFT) with results interpretation from spirometry may vary depending on specific conditions and additional services.

Pulmonary function testing (PFT) using spirometry in the "Dobrobut" clinics in Kyiv is a crucial step in diagnosing lung diseases. This procedure helps to timely identify respiratory function issues, allowing physicians to develop effective treatment plans for patients.
