Our Respiratory Services
Pulmonary Function Test
A non-invasive breathing test that evaluates lung capacity, lung volumes, and diffusion capacity. These insights help healthcare providers diagnose and create effective treatment plans for respiratory conditions. This test is commonly provided through Respiratory Plus to support accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
Spirometry
A quick and essential test to assess how well a patient can inhale and exhale air, commonly used for diagnosing asthma, COPD, and other lung conditions. Spirometry testing offered through Respiratory Plus helps physicians better understand lung health and respiratory function.
Spirometry/DLCO
This test combines spirometry with diffusion capacity measurement, assessing how effectively oxygen is transferred from the lungs into the bloodstream. Through Respiratory Plus, patients receive comprehensive testing to evaluate complex respiratory conditions.
MIPS & MEPS (Respiratory Muscle Strength Testing)
An additional test sometimes requested by specialists to measure the strength of respiratory muscles, often used in conjunction with other lung function tests. Respiratory Plus provides these specialized evaluations when detailed respiratory assessment is required.
Asthma & COPD Education
Certified Respiratory Educators provide guidance on self-management strategies, including proper inhaler techniques and lifestyle adjustments for better symptom control. Education services provided by Respiratory Plus help patients better manage chronic respiratory conditions.
Methacholine Challenge Testing (Ages 6 & Up)
A diagnostic test for patients with suspected asthma but no clear diagnosis. This highly sensitive test measures airway hyperreactivity to confirm or rule out asthma. Respiratory Plus offers this specialized testing to help physicians make accurate respiratory diagnoses.
Mannitol Challenge Testing (Ages 12 & Up)
An alternative to the Methacholine Challenge, this test is a quick and safe method to assess bronchial hyperresponsiveness, particularly useful for exercise-induced asthma diagnosis. Testing through Respiratory Plus supports early identification and management of respiratory conditions.
Arterial Blood Gas (ABG) Analysis
This test evaluates oxygen and carbon dioxide levels in the blood, essential for diagnosing respiratory failure and oxygen therapy needs. Through Respiratory Plus, patients can receive comprehensive diagnostic testing to support advanced respiratory care.
