Frontera provides advanced scientific pulmonary diagnostics the pinpoint to type and potential cause of diseases that can support the validity of a toxic tort claim.
Test: Pulmonary Function Test (PFT)
This is a series of breathing tests that evaluates lung function. The PFT measures how well air can move in-and-out of the lungs and as well as how much air is moving. The additional use of bronchodilator medication or exercise with a PFT allows for analysis of the effects and severity of asthma.
Advanced Scientific Pulmonary Diagnostic Information from PFT:
Advanced Advanced spirometry, lung diffusion procedures, nitrogen wash out procedures, MVV (maximal voluntary ventilation), Pulse Oximetry, Breathing Reserve (BR), Minute Ventilation (VE), ability to do bronchodilator treatments, alveolar volume (VA), residual volume (RV), slow vital capacity (SVC), Total Lung Capacity (TLC), Functional Residual Capacity (FRC).
