Here is a little glimpse into Jaxson's clinic appointment yesterday. We began with Pulmonary Function Tests (PFTs), which are essential for managing cystic fibrosis and maintaining lung health. 🫁
PFTs measure various aspects of lung function, including lung capacity, airflow, and gas exchange. This test can identify early signs of lung disease in individuals with cystic fibrosis, often even before symptoms arise. It tracks even the slightest changes in lung function over time, enabling doctors to adjust treatment plans as necessary. Additionally, PFTs can reveal the effectiveness of any adjustments made to care plans. Jaxson undergoes these tests approximately every 3 to 4 months.
