Our Pulmonary Function Testing
Pulmonary function tests are typically done by our healthcare professional Dr. Sterchi, who uses special equipment to diagnose and keep an eye on respiratory conditions such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), interstitial lung diseases, and restrictive lung diseases. Knowing the results of these tests helps our doctors evaluate lung function, detect abnormalities, and make treatment choices.
key parameters evaluated in a pulmonary function test:
Curious to know what your pulmonary function test consists of? Your PFT will include:
Forced Vital Capacity (FVC): The maximum amount of air a person can exhale forcefully after taking a deep breath.
Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 second (FEV1): The volume of air forcefully exhaled in the first second after a maximal inhalation.
FEV1/FVC ratio: The ratio of FEV1 to FVC, which helps determine whether there is an obstruction to airflow.
Peak Expiratory Flow (PEF): The maximum speed of exhalation during a forced breath.
Total Lung Capacity (TLC): The maximum amount of air the lungs can hold.
Residual Volume (RV): The volume of air remaining in the lungs after a maximal exhalation.

Pulmonary Function Testing FAQs
What is the purpose of a PFT?
PFTs are performed using specialized equipment and help healthcare professionals understand the overall health of the respiratory system. If you’re in need of a pulmonary function test, contact us today!
what are normal values for a pulmonary function test?
Normal values for your pulmonary function test (PFTs) can vary depending on factors such as your age, sex, height, and ethnicity. The reference values provided below are general guidelines and may not apply to everyone. It’s important to note that individual variability exists, and healthcare professionals use a person’s specific characteristics to interpret PFT results accurately. Additionally, different laboratories may use slightly different reference values.
Here are approximate normal ranges for some common pulmonary function test parameters:
Forced Vital Capacity (FVC):
- Normal range: 80-120% of the predicted value
Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 second (FEV1):
- Normal range: 80-120% of the predicted value
FEV1/FVC ratio:
- Normal range: 70-80%
Peak Expiratory Flow (PEF):
- Normal range: Can vary, but often considered to be around 80-120% of the predicted value
Total Lung Capacity (TLC):
- Normal range: 80-120% of the predicted value
Residual Volume (RV):
- Normal range: 80-120% of the predicted value
It’s crucial to interpret PFT results in the context of your medical history, symptoms, and other relevant clinical information. Abnormalities in your values may indicate the presence of respiratory conditions such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), or restrictive lung diseases. Healthcare professionals use PFT results to diagnose and monitor lung diseases, tailor treatment plans, and assess the effectiveness of interventions. If you have specific concerns about your pulmonary function, please contact our healthcare providers here at Sterchi Occupational Health!
