FOT (Airway Oscillometry Test)
At Ram Krishna Chest Hospital (RKCH), the FOT (Airway Oscillometry Test) is a special test that helps doctors measure how well your lungs are working and if there are any problems with your airways.
What Happens During the FOT?
- You will sit comfortably and breathe through a mouthpiece attached to a machine.
- The machine sends gentle pulses of air into your lungs to measure how easily air moves through your airways.
- The test is painless and doesn't require you to breathe deeply or forcefully.
