Lung Function Tests and Nebuliser

[wheezyof]

I'm used to Lung function tests, I've had a fair few, I know when to stop my inhalers, no hard exercise (not done that for years). However, nowhere in the paperwork says if I should use my nebuliser, as usual, on the test day or not.

I've only had the nebuliser since last September, I didn't think to ask about test days.

Advice please from nebuliser users.

Thank you all xx

Sorry that I can't help with your query but maybe if you rang the test lab they would advise you.

Hi I’ve recently had a PFT and use a nebuliser for my meds. It depends on what meds you’re using. I was told not to take my ventolin that I use via the nebuliser. It was ok for me to take saline and the antibiotic through the neb before the PFT. Not sure if you are using different meds.

I nebulise saline so I'll be able to do that. Thank you

Hi wheezyof, I would think nebulised Ventolin would be a no no but everything else should be ok. Best to check though. Xxxx
