Respiratory Care

Our CoxHealth pulmonologists diagnose and treat problems with your lungs and respiratory system.

The health of your respiratory system is vital for a happy, active life.

Pulmonologists diagnose and treat problems with your lungs and respiratory system. Asthma, bronchitis, COPD and cystic fibrosis are a few of the conditions they care for. At CoxHealth, our pulmonologists work closely with our Sleep Disorder Center to help diagnose and treat conditions that affect your quality of sleep.

If your physician decides you need special respiratory care, you’ll be treated by a respiratory therapist. It’s common for patients of all ages in the emergency department, an ICU and the Step-Down unit to require respiratory treatment. 
 

Pulmonary Diagnostic Testing Offered

  • Arterial blood gases (ABG), which measures acidity and levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide in your blood from an artery. 
  • Pulmonary function testing, which evaluates how your lungs work.
  • Robotic-assisted bronchoscopy, a minimally invasive lung biopsy.
  • Spirometry, which measures how much and how quickly you move air out of your lungs.
  • Stress testing, which evaluates how exercise affects your lung function test.
