Re: Pulmonary Function Test

Had the Pulmonary Function Tests done.. If its the same as I had,

you go into this little chamber/breathing room, and they hook you up

to a breathing/oxygen machine that controls and regulates your

breathing to see if something is wrong with your lungs before the

surgery.. The little breathing room is funny looking.. Kinda looks

like a little bus thing, that I didn't think I'd fit in.. But I

did.. Thank god..

I had numerous Pulmonary Function Tests done and did not have to

have a blood gas done.. So I guess it all depends on the results of

the PFTs to see if you have one done or not..
