Pulmonary Diagnostic services include basic and advanced procedures that are designed to provide a comprehensive evaluation of lung function, helping to identify and manage respiratory conditions early.
Basic Pulmonary Diagnostic Services Include:
Pulmonary Function Tests (PFTs):
A battery of tests that measure lung capacity, airflow, and gas exchange. These are critical in diagnosing conditions such as asthma, COPD, and restrictive lung disease.
Spirometry:
A key component of PFTs, spirometry assesses the volume and flow of air during inhalation and exhalation, providing valuable insights into the presence of obstructive lung conditions.
Chest X-Ray:
A non-invasive imaging tool used to visualize the lungs, heart, and chest wall. This test helps detect infections, tumors, or structural abnormalities.
Pulse Oximetry:
A simple, non-invasive test that measures blood oxygen levels to assess how effectively your lungs are oxygenating your blood.
Arterial Blood Gas Analysis
Oxygen Titration/certification
Air Travel Evaluation
Overnight Oximetry
Sleep Apnea testing and sleep management
Pulmonary Rehab Evaluation
Advanced Diagnostic Procedures:
Advanced Bronchoscopy:
Utilizing state-of-the-art technologies such as Endobronchial Ultrasound (EBUS) and Electromagnetic Navigation Bronchoscopy, we access and evaluate the airways with precision, allowing for accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment.
Airway Interventions:
We offer a variety of procedures to address airway obstructions and abnormalities, including airway stenting and balloon dilation. These interventions are designed to restore proper airflow and relieve symptoms in patients with chronic respiratory conditions.
Pleural Procedures:
Our expertise extends to the management of pleural diseases through diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, such as thoracentesis and pleural biopsies, ensuring effective treatment for conditions like pleural effusion and pneumothorax.
Ablative Therapies:
We employ cutting-edge ablative techniques, including laser therapy and cryotherapy, to treat localized airway lesions and early-stage lung cancers with minimal disruption to surrounding tissues.
