Pulmonary Function Tests
Gritman Medical Center is staffed 24 hours a day by licensed Respiratory Therapists and is the only facility on the Palouse with a Pulmonary Function Lab — offering comprehensive Pulmonary Function Tests, including DLCO (diffusing capacity of the lungs for carbon monoxide) and spirometry. The tests are interpreted by program Medical Director Dr. Sara Carson with Kootenai Clinic Lung and Asthma, who also meets with patients at Kootenai Health offices in Moscow for followup.
Our trained team provides care and expertise in a wide array of situations: from newborns with underdeveloped lungs, adults managing chronic conditions like Asthma or COPD, to life-saving care in emergencies and critical situations.
