Pulmonary Testing
Your respiratory health is essential for overall well-being. We provide comprehensive pulmonary testing services to diagnose and monitor lung conditions, ensuring you can breathe easier and live healthier.
What is Pulmonary Testing?
Pulmonary testing involves a range of diagnostic procedures designed to evaluate how well your lungs are functioning. These tests measure lung capacity, airflow, and oxygen exchange, helping to detect, diagnose, and manage respiratory conditions. Pulmonary testing is a critical tool in identifying issues early and creating effective treatment plans tailored to your needs.
Types of Pulmonary Testing
1
Spirometry
Measures the amount of air you can inhale and exhale and how quickly you can exhale. Commonly used to diagnose asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and other lung conditions.
2
Lung Volume Testing
Determines the total amount of air your lungs can hold, helping assess restrictive lung diseases.
3
Pulse Oximetry
Measures the oxygen saturation level in your blood using a small, non-invasive device clipped to your finger.
4
Arterial Blood Gas Test
Analyzes oxygen and carbon dioxide levels in your blood to evaluate how well your lungs are functioning.
5
Diffusion Capacity Test
Measures how well oxygen passes from your lungs into your bloodstream.
6
Peak Flow Measurement
Monitors the maximum speed of your exhalation, often used to track asthma symptoms.
Common Conditions Diagnosed with Pulmonary Testing
- Asthma: Evaluate airway constriction and treatment effectiveness.
- Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD): Assess airflow obstruction and lung function.
- Pulmonary Fibrosis: Monitor scarring and oxygen exchange in the lungs.
- Sleep Apnea: Assess oxygen levels and respiratory patterns.
- Lung Infections: Diagnose conditions like pneumonia or bronchitis.
- Pre-Surgical Evaluation: Ensure lung function is adequate for upcoming surgeries.
Who Should Consider Pulmonary Testing?
Pulmonary testing is recommended for individuals who:
- Experience shortness of breath, chronic coughing, or wheezing.
- Have a history of smoking or exposure to lung irritants.
- Have been diagnosed with a lung condition and need ongoing monitoring.
- Require pre-surgical evaluations for respiratory health.
