This is one of the most advanced and complete labs where you will have access to all the tests relating to the vitality of your lungs and airways. We have the most updated software to perform all tests of lung function, from the simple spirometry, diffusing capacity (which is the rate by which oxygen passes into, and CO2 passes out of the blood), to the very sophisticated cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPX). CPX is a very useful tool for the athletes and those suffering from shortness of breath and easy fatigue on exercise. In this test, the person is seated on an ergometer (steady bicycle) and is connected to the machine, which measures and records all the vital data from heart rate, ECG, oxygen consumption, carbon dioxide production, and other valuable data. The end result is practically all a physician needs to decide whether the cause of the shortness of breath is of pulmonary or cardiac origin.

A vital aspect of the pulmonary function testing is for preoperative evaluation. The risks of undergoing any type of surgery using general anesthesia -especially in the upper abdomen and not to mention thoracic surgery- without prior pulmonary consultation are beyond imagination.
Therefore, before going into the operating theatre, have your lungs tested so that you are sure the anesthesiologist and the surgeon will not face any inconvenience during the surgery and the postoperative period.
