PULMONARY SERVICES

Spirometry, with and without bronchodilator administration

This is a basic test that measures lung capacity and function. The test before and after a bronchodilator allows for the assessment of any reversibility of airway obstruction, useful in the diagnosis of asthma or COPD.

Assessment of respiratory function and respiratory muscle strength

It examines the ability of the muscles involved in breathing to function effectively. This measurement is helpful in diseases that affect the respiratory muscles or in patients with dyspnea of unexplained etiology.

Oximetry

Simple and painless measurement of blood oxygen saturation with a special device (pulse oximeter). It is used in both chronic diseases and acute conditions, providing immediate data on the patient's respiratory adequacy.

Specialized investigation of asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

Through clinical assessment, functional tests and a personalized approach, the two most common chronic respiratory diseases are diagnosed and monitored, with the aim of better controlling symptoms and improving quality of life.

Respiratory tract infections
Pneumonia
Pulmonary embolism
Sleep apnea syndrome
Interstitial lung diseases

Particular importance is given to Sleep Studies, which help in the diagnosis and treatment of breathing disorders during sleep. Finally, the clinic operates a smoking cessation program, which combines medication with counseling and psychological support, offering substantial help to those who want to get rid of cigarette addiction.

The rapid developments in the field of medical equipment

have radically changed the way we approach interventional pulmonology.

The integration of new, specialized tools and systems into daily clinical practice has allowed the development and implementation of innovative endoscopic techniques, which expand our diagnostic and therapeutic capabilities.

These modern methods, when applied by specialized pulmonologists with appropriate training and experience, offer the patient safety, speed and accuracy.

They are no longer limited only to the diagnosis of difficult or complex pathological conditions, but also constitute effective tools for therapeutic interventions, often reducing the need for more invasive or surgical procedures.
In this way, interventional pulmonology is evolving into an increasingly essential discipline, which offers direct benefit to the patient, combining technological progress with personalized medical care.
