Which department does the pulmonary function tester use?

The pulmonary function tester is a measuring instrument that can perform pulmonary function tests and track the health of the lungs. Simply put, the pulmonary function tester can check the age of the lungs and also check the vital capacity.

Pulmonary function test belongs to the scope of diagnosis and treatment of respiratory medicine.

Pulmonary function test is a common test. If the patient has respiratory disease, he can go to the hospital for pulmonary function test, mainly to confirm whether there is lung disease, airway disease, and to confirm lung function.

Generally speaking, if it is a lung problem, you can go for a chest X-ray or chest CT.

If there are cough and sputum problems, there may be lung disease, or chronic bronchitis, pneumonia, acute bronchitis, or bronchiectasis. In this case, you can go to the respiratory medicine department to register for treatment.

Of course, if there are related problems after going to a different outpatient clinic, the doctor will also ask the patient to take the corresponding lung function test. The patient himself does not need to worry too much.

What exactly can be tested with a pulmonary function tester?

The pulmonary function meter can mainly detect lung ventilation, vital capacity, expiratory flow rate, and ventilation volume. It is mainly used to evaluate the functional reserve of the lungs, which is very important for patients who need surgery, especially chest surgery.

Simply put, it includes forced vital capacity (FVC); age value of lung organs; vital capacity (VC/SVC); after inputting FRC value, RV (residual capacity), FRC (functional residual capacity), TLC (total lung capacity) can be measured , RV/TLC; minute ventilation (MV); maximum ventilation per minute (MVV); bronchiectasis test (BD).

How much is a pulmonary function meter?

Generally speaking, the price of pulmonary function tester is tens of thousands, the lower is about 4/50,000, and the higher may be 160,000/170, or even higher. The difference between different brands and imported and domestic products, As a result, the price of the lung function tester is also different.
