  Pulmonary Questionnaire

 

This pulmonary questionnaire consisting of 21 questions was developed by Gina Thomas, a Respiratory Therapist from Sequoia Hospital in Redwood City, California, in conjunction with advisors at Stanford University. Answers obtained from people responding to the questionnaire are designed to build a database which will help to implement pulmonary rehabilitation programs for those recovering from ARDS.
