CONSULTATIONS
Pnoesis - Specialized Medical Practice
The examinations carried out in the office by the Pulmonologist are:
- Respiratory Functional Exploration (FRE), comprising:
- Spirometry (calculation of air volumes and respiratory flow rates)
- Plethysmography (calculation of static lung volumes that cannot be mobilized)
- Diffusion of carbon monoxide (DLCO) which reflects the gas transfer capacity in the alveoli
*** NB: EFR does not involve any particular risk. To obtain reliable results, it is recommended not to smoke and not to take any bronchodilator less than 4 hours before the examination.
- Diurnal oxymetry, with the possibility of performing nocturnal oxymetry registration
- Exhaled fraction of nitric oxide (FENO)
- PRICK Allergic skin tests
- Polysomnography and Polygraphy to be organized at home with our own equipment and expertise in analysis and interpretation of results, or in a hospital environment with our collaborators
Additional respiratory examinations can be organized by the team in a hospital environment:
- Ergospirometry (respiratory stress test)
- Bronchial endoscopy
- Histamine broncho-provocation test
TWe offer consultations on weekdays by appointment.
