Several types of PFTs are utilized to assess lung function, including:
Spirometry: Measures the volume of air an individual can expel from the lungs after a maximal inhalation. Peak Flow Measurement: Assesses the highest speed of exhalation. Lung Volume Measurement: Determines the total volume of the lungs. Diffusion Capacity: Evaluates how well gases like oxygen move from the lungs to the blood.
