Spirometry
Pulmonary function tests are an integral part of diagnosing and managing patients with lung diseases.
Diffusion Capacity
Diffusion capacity is a clinically useful test that provides the quantitative measurement of gas transfer in the lungs.
Airway Oscillometry
During normal tidal breathing, oscillometry measures the mechanical properties of the lungs like upper and lower airways, lung tissue and chest wall.
FeNO [Fractional Exhaled Nitric Oxide]
FeNO measurements are considered as a surrogate for eosinophilic airway inflammation and especially useful in patients with asthma who do not demonstrate spirometric abnormalities.
Six Minute Walk Test
This test is an objective measure of functional capacity. The distance covered over a time of 6 minutes is used as the outcome.
X Rays
These produce images of bones and internal tissues on film or digital media. Chest radiographic techniques play a major role in the detection, diagnosis, and serial evaluation of thoracic diseases
The Electrocardiogram (ECG)
The complex nature of interactions between the pulmonary and cardiovascular systems is becoming increasingly appreciated.
Sleep Disorder Clinic
Sleep-disordered breathing is an extremely common medical Disorder. Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA) is a common clinical problem resulting in nocturnal hypoxia and sleep fragmentation.
Pulmonary Rehabilitation
Pulmonary rehabilitation is a comprehensive intervention used to improve the physical and psychological condition of patients with chronic lung diseases and promote their adherence to health-promoting behaviours.
Smoking Cessation Clinic
Tobacco use leads to serious health problems including tobacco dependence which often requires repeated treatments. Those who smoke not only harm themselves but also those around them by second-hand smoke and is one of the leading causes of indoor air pollution.
