Abstract

Pulmonary Function Tests are one of the prime tool to evaluate respiratory symptoms and diagnose disease. It is also used for functionality and preoperative risk evaluation.Many organizations, including the National Asthma Education and Prevention Program, Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD), and American Thoracic Society (ATS), recommend using these tests.(1–3)When added to correlate with clinical history. Pulmonary Function Test have an high accuracy in predicting the diagnosis and further management of the patient. Pulmonary function test assesses the integrated mechanical function of the lung, chest wall, respiratory muscles, and airways and is valuable tool in evaluating patients with respiratory symptoms
