Advanced Diagnostic Test for Lung Capacity, Airflow, and Respiratory Function
Spirometry is the most common and reliable Pulmonary Function Test (PFT). Using a digital spirometer device, this test measures how much air a patient can inhale and exhale, as well as how fast they can breathe out.
It precisely analyzes the volume of air exhaled in the first second ($\text{FEV}_1$) and the total amount of air exhaled ($\text{FVC}$) via digital graphs.
To diagnose chronic cough, shortness of breath, asthma, or Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), and to assess the degree of airway obstruction.
To determine the decline in lung function due to long-term smoking and identify the root cause of respiratory weakness.
To monitor the effectiveness of inhalers or medications and evaluate lung fitness prior to major surgeries.
Completely refrain from smoking, alcohol, tea, coffee, or caffeinated beverages for at least 6 to 12 hours before the test.
As instructed by your physician, certain bronchodilators or inhalers may need to be temporarily stopped 4 to 24 hours prior to the test.
Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing to allow your chest to expand freely during deep breathing.
Do not eat heavy meals at least 2 to 3 hours before the test, as a full stomach limits full lung expansion.
| Test Name | Government Hospital | Private Diagnostic Center |
|---|---|---|
| Standard Spirometry | ৳ 300 - ৳ 500 | ৳ 800 - ৳ 1,500 |
| Spirometry with Reversibility | ৳ 500 - ৳ 800 | ৳ 1,400 - ৳ 2,500 |
| Complete PFT | ৳ 1,000 - ৳ 1,800 | ৳ 3,000 - ৳ 5,000 |
Among all lung evaluation tests, Spirometry is completely radiation-free and non-invasive (no needles or incisions required). The test is performed simply by breathing in and out through the mouthpiece of a device.
Because it is painless and risk-free, it can be safely conducted at any age under a physician’s guidance. With zero harmful side effects, it can be reliably used to monitor lung health and recovery progress.
Spirometry is a completely safe, painless, and non-invasive test. Consult a registered pulmonologist promptly for any lung-related concerns.
