Pulmonary Function Testing Lab
The N.C. Children’s Specialty Clinic in Raleigh has Wake County’s
only full service pediatric pulmonary function testing
lab. Regular pulmonary function testing (PFT) is an essential
part of health maintenance for children with asthma and other pulmonary
conditions. 
Pulmonary function testing can be performed as part of the
pulmonology or allergy appointment if deemed necessary by the
physician. In addition, children requiring more frequent PFTs can
schedule individual appointments with the respiratory therapist. The
respiratory therapist can also provide in depth asthma education,
review the asthma action plan and demonstrate the appropriate use of
asthma medications.
