Respiratory Medicine

Spirometry

Spirometry is a pulmonary function test, which measures the amount of air and the speed of air that can be inhaled and exhaled by patients.  This test is used to identify respiratory conditions such as Asthma, Chronic Obstructive Airways Disease and Pulmonary Fibrosis.

Nebulisation

Nebulisation is a method of converting a medicine or solution into an aerosol, which is inhaled directly into the lungs. Because of the way it is administered, a nebulizer has many advantages and benefits compared to other respiratory relief methods such as inhalers, tablets, and liquid medicines. One primary benefit of nebulisation is the ease of use, compared to the dry powder of an inhaler and the difficulty of swallowing tablets or liquid medicine. Nebulizers are commonly used for the treatment of Asthma, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and other respiratory diseases or disorders.
