Consultants Who Offer Respiratory and Bronchoscopy Services
Respiratory and Bronchoscopy Services We Offer
Our respiratory and bronchoscopy services include:
- Pre and postoperative assessments: We perform thorough assessments before and after surgery to evaluate and monitor your breathing health. Whether you have an existing lung disease or you’re at high risk for breathing difficulties due to conditions like sleep apnoea, we take every precaution to keep you safe and optimise your recovery after surgery.
- Thoracic and respiratory clinics: People with chronic lung diseases or unexplained respiratory problems have access to our weekly outpatient clinics. You receive a timely assessment and diagnosis from experienced respiratory consultants who can refer you to the right care.
- Lung function testing: We offer a comprehensive suite of pulmonary function tests to assess how well your lungs are working. Tests such as spirometry, VO2 max, CPAP tests and cardiopulmonary exercise testing help us evaluate your readiness for surgery and diagnose breathing disorders.
- Post-COVID-19 recovery: People who have had COVID-19 and are still experiencing long-term effects (“long COVID”) such as breathlessness may need specialised evaluations. Specialists in primary care, neurology and cardiology select the right tests for your needs, provide prompt results and connect you to the treatments that can help you recover.
- Endobronchial ultrasound bronchoscopy (EBUS): During this minimally invasive procedure, we insert a thin tube (bronchoscope) into your mouth and down your windpipe. The tube has a tiny camera that shows us detailed, real-time images of your lungs. We can evaluate lung cancer, infections and inflammatory conditions. We can also take a small tissue sample for examination (biopsy). EBUS doesn’t require any incisions (cuts), and most patients can return home the same day as their procedure.
