  • Imaging Studies -
    • Chest X-ray - Initial imaging to assess lung conditions.
    • CT Scan - Detailed imaging for evaluating tumors, interstitial lung disease, or pulmonary embolism.
  • Arterial Blood Gas (ABG) Analysis - A blood test that measures oxygen and carbon dioxide levels in the blood to assess respiratory function.
  • Sputum Analysis - Imaging to evaluate heart size, shape, and any associated lung conditions.
  • Cardiac Catheterization - Laboratory testing of mucus samples to identify infections or inflammatory conditions.

  • Inhalation Therapy - Administering bronchodilators or corticosteroids via nebulizers or inhalers to manage asthma, COPD, or other respiratory conditions.
  • Thoracentesis - A procedure to remove excess fluid from the pleural space for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes.
  • Chest Tube Insertion - Placement of a tube to drain air (pneumothorax) or fluid (effusion) from the pleural cavity.
