I had fever 1 month back, after taking antibiotics it got resolved but i have started to mouth breath and excessive sighing after recovering from the infection. therefore doctor advised me to go for CT chest now this is showing scarring and active infection what is happening to me
Hello Doctor, I am planning to do a Pulmonary Function Test (PFT/spirometry) in a Government Hospital. I noticed that they may not use disposable spirometry filters and instead use a reusable mouthpiece/tube. I want to know: Can I buy my own single-use spirometry filter from a medical store or online? Will it fit most spirometry machines? Is it generally allowed to carry and use my own filter during the test in a Government Hospital? Has anyone done this before? Will using my own filter affect the accuracy of the test? I am mainly concerned about hygiene and infection safety. Thank you
