Pulmonary Care
Our pulmonary experts diagnose and manage a wide range of acute and chronic pulmonary diseases and disorders.
Services:
A diagnostic test used to evaluate the levels of oxygen (O2), carbon dioxide (CO2), and pH in the arterial blood, as well as the levels of bicarbonate (HCO3-) and oxygen saturation (SaO2).
” A procedure used to determine the optimal pressure settings for a patient requiring CPAP therapy.
CPAP is a non-invasive treatment for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).”
Is a medical device used to help clear excess mucus and secretions from the lungs in individuals with respiratory conditions.
OSA is a sleep disorder characterized by repeated episodes of upper airway obstruction during sleep. Screening methods may include questionnaires, such as the STOP-BANG questionnaire, which assesses snoring, tiredness, observed apneas, high blood pressure, body mass index, age, neck circumference, and gender. Early detection and management of OSA are crucial for reducing the risk of complications such as cardiovascular disease, daytime sleepiness, and impaired cognitive function.
A series of tests used to assess lung function and diagnose respiratory conditions.
A method of delivering medication directly into the lungs as a fine mist. It’s commonly used to treat respiratory conditions such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), cystic fibrosis, and respiratory infections.
Also known as a respiratory protective device, is crucial in various occupational settings and situations where individuals may be exposed to hazardous airborne particles, gases, or vapors. Respirators provide respiratory protection by filtering out contaminants from the air or supplying clean air to the wearer, depending on the type of respirator used.
High-flow oxygen therapy (HFOT) is a medical treatment that delivers oxygen at higher flow rates than conventional oxygen therapy methods. It typically involves the use of specialized nasal cannula devices capable of delivering oxygen at flow rates exceeding 6 liters per minute, up to 60 liters per minute or more.
A breathing support, warmed (to 37 degrees) and humidified oxygen is given through a tube placed in the nostrils.
A non-invasive medical test used to measure the oxygen saturation levels (SpO2) in the blood and monitor the pulse rate. It involves placing a small sensor, usually attached to a fingertip, earlobe, or toe, which uses light wavelengths to detect the amount of oxygen carried by hemoglobin in the blood.
A device designed to measure the levels of carbon monoxide (CO) in a person’s breath.
