When you can't breath, nothing else
matters. It is a powerful statement that is often
confronted by people with acute or chronic breathing
difficulties. For most of us, breathing is an effortless
and unconscious part of our life.
Unfortunately, for many, breathing can be a very
difficult and often laborious process.
For
those who experience any type of acute or chronic breathing
difficulty it will come as a great comfort knowing that it is
our number 1 priority to help identify the cause(s) of
breathing difficulties. This
is all possible due to the knowledgeable staff and a highly
advanced state-of-the-art diagnostic computer system offered
by the Pulmonary Function Laboratory at Southwest Florida
Regional Medical Center.
Candidates for a pulmonary function test include patients with
asthma, bronchitis, emphysema, cancerous and non-cancerous
tumors, and exposure to hazardous materials such as asbestos.
