Overview

Lung Function Testing

Lung function tests, commonly called pulmonary function tests (PFTs), measure how well the lungs work. These tests are essential for diagnosing and monitoring lung conditions, evaluating treatment effectiveness, and determining lung impairment levels.

Different type of Lung Function Testing:

Spirometry
Gas transfer
Lung volumes
Reversibility
FeNO

Muscle function testing
These are other procedures we can under take. These procedures particularly focus on respiratory muscles. The tests below evaluate the strength and endurance of the muscles involved in breathing

Sniff Nasal Inspiratory Pressure (SNIP)
Maximum Inspiratory Pressure (MIP)
Maximum Expiratory Pressure (MEP)

Additionally our teams can undertake:

Sleep study set up and/or scoring
CPAP/NIV setting up and/or reviews
