Full Lung Function Tests

Full Lung Function tests are only performed at Rotorua Hospital.

A full lung function test gives us more information about your lungs than spirometry.  It measures lung volumes and the ability of your lungs to transfer gas. A Respiratory Physiologist will guide you through a number of breathing manoeuvres while breathing into our machine. Depending on the type of test your doctor has asked for it can take 15 - 45 mins.
