New PFT Equipment Launched at Ongole Hospital
Imagine your lungs are like balloons.
Doctors need to check how well these balloons work.
The new PFT machines at GGH Ongole will help them do that.
They test how much air you can breathe in and out, and how well your blood gets oxygen.
This helps doctors find out if your lungs are healthy or have problems like asthma or damage from smoking.
The equipment is a big deal for the hospital, helping doctors in all areas of medicine to better diagnose and treat breathing problems.
It's like getting a super-powered tool to understand how well your lungs work!
PFT equipment was inaugurated at GGH Ongole.
The equipment cost Rs 50 lakh.
Three PFT units were installed in Pulmonology and General Medicine.
The equipment assesses lung capacity, oxygen absorption, and exercise impact.
It will help doctors in all specialties.
