Respiratory problems can prevent many people from doing the basic activities in life and can even be life-threatening. Organs affected by pulmonary diseases include the bronchi, bronchioles, diaphragm, lungs and trachea. The pulmonary team at Regional Clinics Pulmonology is here to help you breathe and live life more comfortably. Regional Clinics Pulmonology offers a broad range of respiratory care services, including:
- Pulmonary function tests - diagnostic tests that help to measure the lungs' ability to exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide appropriately.
- Bronchoscopy - a procedure that allows the physician to directly visualize the interior passageways of the lower respiratory tract through a bronchoscope.
- Arterial blood gas - a blood test that is used to evaluate the lungs' ability to provide blood with oxygen and remove carbon dioxide, and to measure the pH (acidity) of the blood.
