🌍 Today is World COPD Day, and this year’s theme highlights the importance of measuring lung function in managing chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Chronic and often underdiagnosed, COPD affects millions globally. Pulmonary function tests (PFTs)—including spirometry, lung volume testing, and diffusion capacity measurements—are vital tools for: Diagnosing COPD early and accurately Monitoring disease progression Guiding treatment decisions Predicting patient outcomes Did you know only 5% of COPD cases are diagnosed correctly? Spirometry, the gold standard for diagnosis, not only identifies COPD but also helps tailor therapy to individual needs, improving quality of life and outcomes. Let’s amplify awareness about the importance of PFTs and encourage regular lung function monitoring. Together, we can make strides in COPD care and education. 💙 Read more on PFTs in COPD progression monitoring here: https://lnkd.in/eS5aDHvm #WorldCOPDDay #COPD #PulmonaryFunctionTests #LungHealth #BreatheEasy
