What do Pulmonary Function Technologists do?
Pulmonary Function Technologists (PFTs) perform diagnostic tests to evaluate lung function, assisting physicians in diagnosing and monitoring respiratory conditions such as asthma and COPD.
Their duties include conducting tests such as spirometry and body plethysmography, calibrating equipment, preparing patients for procedures, interpreting results, and educating patients on their conditions.
Examples of Conditions Diagnosed or Monitored: Asthma, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), Pulmonary fibrosis, Emphysema, and Bronchitis.
What they do
Conduct Lung Function Tests: Perform tests such as spirometry, which measures lung capacity, and body plethysmography, which determines total lung volume.
Administer Gas Diffusion Tests: Assess how efficiently the lungs exchange gases, such as oxygen and carbon dioxide.
Maintain Equipment: Calibrate and maintain specialized pulmonary function testing equipment to ensure accuracy.
Prepare and Educate Patients: Instruct patients on performing the tests and help them understand their respiratory condition and available treatment options.
Record and Interpret Results: Meticulously record and interpret the test data to help physicians make informed clinical decisions.
Collaborate with Healthcare Teams: Work closely with pulmonologists, respiratory therapists, and other healthcare professionals to provide comprehensive patient care.
Environment
PFTs typically work in hospitals, outpatient clinics, and specialized pulmonary laboratories, collaborating with physicians and other healthcare providers.
