Pulmonary Function Lab
Pulmonary function tests provide a way to evaluate how well your lungs are working. There are a series of tests you may be given. The testing time may take one hour or more. These tests can help explain shortness of breath, type of lung problem, the effects of smoking or if you are at risk of breathing problems during general anesthesia.
Electroencephalogram (EEG)
An electroencephalogram (EEG) is a recording of the electrical activity of the brain. EEG is a diagnostic tool used to evaluate seizure disorders, metabolic disorders, stroke, infections of the central nervous system, degenerative disorders, head trauma, headache, brain tumors and brain death. The EEG test is a painless procedure, which takes about 1-1⁄2 hours. The patient may be required to sleep during a portion of the test.
Respiratory Care Services
The respiratory therapist is a licensed practitioner trained to work with the primary care or specialty physicians. They collaborate with the physicians and follow orders provided by your physician, and assumes primary responsibility for all respiratory care, therapeutic interventions and diagnostic procedures. Respiratory therapists evaluate and treat all age ranges of patients with diverse respiratory/pulmonary disorders.
