The Mayo Clinic pulmonary function laboratories offer many advanced tests for common and rare conditions that affect the lungs and breathing. Despite their size, high volume and complexity, these laboratories are staffed by healthcare professionals who put your needs first. You receive prompt, individualized and compassionate care.
At Mayo Clinic in Arizona, Florida and Minnesota, the pulmonary function laboratories serve hundreds of people a day. The laboratories' large patient volume, advanced technology and outstanding quality assurance program support the clinic's international reputation for the accurate diagnosis of respiratory diseases.
A tradition of research and innovation
The Mayo Clinic pulmonary function laboratories grew from the Department of Physiology, which in the mid-20th century transformed aviation by developing the aviator's oxygen mask, the G-suit, the oxygen bailout bottle and the "M1 maneuver." Fighter pilots used this maneuver to maintain consciousness when subjected to g-forces. The original lab and its founders developed:
- The pulse oximeter.
- The flow volume curve.
- The nitrogen washout method for lung volumes.
- Sleep medicine methods.
- Improved research methods for pulmonary function testing.
Mayo Clinic continues to build on that tradition. The experts of the pulmonary function laboratories are involved in many national and international research studies.
