Pulmonary function testing for kids

At Alliance Pediatrics® of Fort Worth, we offer comprehensive pulmonary function testing to help diagnose and treat respiratory conditions in children. Pulmonary function tests (PFTs), including spirometry, measure how well your child’s lungs are working. These tests are essential for identifying issues like asthma, pneumonia, and other lung conditions that can affect your child’s ability to breathe easily.

What is pulmonary function testing?

Pulmonary function tests are a series of simple, non-invasive tests that assess how well your child’s lungs are performing. One of the most common tests we perform is spirometry, which measures how much air your child can inhale and exhale, and how quickly they can do it. This information helps us evaluate lung function and detect any abnormalities.

Why is pulmonary function testing important?

If your child is experiencing symptoms such as chronic coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath, or frequent respiratory infections, pulmonary function testing can provide valuable insights into their lung health. These tests allow us to pinpoint the cause of their symptoms and determine the best course of treatment.

On-site testing for faster diagnosis

We are proud to offer pulmonary function testing right in our office, ensuring quick and convenient access to the care your child needs. Our experienced pediatric team will guide your child through the test, making the experience as smooth and stress-free as possible. After the test, our pediatric specialists will review the results to diagnose any underlying lung conditions and create a personalized treatment plan.

At Alliance Pediatrics® of Fort Worth, we are dedicated to helping your child breathe easier. Whether it’s managing asthma or diagnosing a more complex pulmonary issue, our goal is to provide the best possible care for your child’s respiratory health. If you have concerns about your child’s lung function or would like more information about our testing services, please contact us.
