Pulmonary Function Tests (PFTs)
Pulmonary function tests (PFTs) are a group of tests that measure how well your lungs work. This includes how well you’re able to breathe and how effective your lungs are able to bring oxygen to the rest of your body.
We may order these tests:
-
if you’re having symptoms of lung problems
-
if you’re regularly exposed to certain substances in the environment or workplace
-
to monitor the course of chronic lung disease, such as asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
-
to assess how well your lungs are working before you have surgery
What to Expect When You're Prescribed CPAP or Oxygen
CPAP machines and oxygen concentrators are supplied from companies that carry Durable Medical Equipment. They are referred to as DME companies. If you have a prior association with a DME company, we will be happy to send your prescription there. If you are new to CPAPs or oxygen, we will recommend one of several companies with whom we have associations.
There are a number of steps to go through on our end to make sure you get the equipment we have prescribed. Please be patient with us while you wait for your equipment to arrive. The DME company will call you to arrange drop-off or pick up of equipment, so please make sure we have a current phone number. However, if you have not heard from one of the DME companies a week after being prescribed new equipment or supplies, please give us a call.
