We provide the following outpatient services to the community:

Arterial Blood Gas: Is a lab test in which a respiratory therapist will collect the blood sample to measure the acidity, or pH, and the levels of oxygen (O2) and carbon dioxide (CO2) from an artery. The test is used to check the function of the patient's lungs and how well they are able to move oxygen into the blood and remove carbon dioxide.

Pulmonary Function Testing (PFT): Is a test to see how well your lungs are functioning in every way that they function. We collect data by having the patient breath through a set of exercises on our body plethysmography. Your physician can order all the tests or just few depending upon your symptoms.

  • Lung volumes
