Lung Function Clinic (Spirometry)

Lung function testing is used to diagnose pulmonary and other diseases that lead to difficulty breathing and follow-up of existing diseases to determine the effectiveness of treatment. The clinic is intended for patients who suffer from significant difficulty breathing, asthma, COPD and various chronic pulmonary diseases, patients who have lung damage due to exposure to hazardous materials or prolonged illnesses (such as COVID-19), as a test for patients using regular medication (inhalers), and more.

The Pulmonary Rehabilitation Workshop

 

The workshop, which is run under the managerial responsibility of Internal Medicine A, the Physical Therapy Service, and the out-patient clinics’ nursing staff, is intended for chronic lung disease patients whose physicians have recommended they undergo a rehabilitation process to improve their condition. The purpose of rehabilitation is to reduce the symptoms, improve physical strength and ability to participate in day-to-day activities, which improves quality of life. This is done through physical training, nutritional consulting, teaching patients about their disease, learning how to reduce shortness of breath and more.
