What is pulmonary testing?

Pulmonary testing is a clinical term for measuring the capacity of a person's lungs to take in air and release oxygen from that air into the bloodstream. Oxygen is essential to promote cell growth and keep us healthy. A number of conditions can hamper a person's lung capacity. Just a few of these include asthma, COPD, certain forms of cancer and emphysema. In addition, outside factors, such as smoking or exposure to paint fumes, can reduce a person's lung function.
