Lung Function Tests

Comprehensive Lung Health Assessment

A Specialist Lung Health Assessment is crucial for various reasons, offering insights into both current lung health and potential future issues.

Key Benefits of Lung Health Assessment

  • Diagnosing Conditions: Early detection of lung conditions, even before symptoms appear, allowing for more effective treatment options.
  • Tumour and Nodule Detection: Identifies the presence, size, and shape of tumours or nodules within the lungs.
  • Detection of Respiratory Ailments: Helps identify conditions such as infections and emphysema that may be causing respiratory symptoms.
  • Evaluating Effects of Past Illnesses: Assesses the impact of prior health issues, including COVID-19, on lung function and respiratory well-being.

Core Lung Function Test: Spirometry

Spirometry is a primary lung function test that measures the airflow in and out of the lungs to detect any abnormalities. This test is particularly recommended for individuals working in environments with regular exposure to dust, chemicals, or other respiratory irritants.

Additional Lung Function Tests Offered at Our Clinic

In addition to spirometry, we offer the following specialised lung function tests:

  • Lung Volume: Assesses the total volume of the lungs to provide a full picture of lung capacity.
  • Gas Transfer Measurement: Measures how efficiently oxygen and other gases move from the lungs to the bloodstream.
  • Bronchial Responsiveness: Tests for asthma and other conditions by gauging how the airways respond to various stimuli.
  • Respiratory Muscle Strength: Assesses the strength of respiratory muscles, which is essential for efficient breathing.
  • Long-Term Oxygen Therapy Assessment: Evaluates the need for ongoing oxygen therapy for individuals with chronic lung conditions.
