Every time I go to the lung MD they do an ABG. The techs are very experienced and I have never suffered more than a brief sting. I think it bothers me less than when they take blood from a vein.
Oh noo!
Lol.
Guess I'll have to deal with it.
Thanks!
Hello and hope you are doing well.
For lung function evaluation, your doctor must be referring to spirometry, it is a test where you will be asked to blow into a hand held machine and it records your values. This tests the lung functions. The commonly measured values are FEV1 and FVC, which are forced expiratory volumes. This will help detect asthma.
Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
