Our respiratory specialists have devised an ideal screening package, based on risk factors, the tests include:
- Review by a specialist and basic observations.
- Blood tests (respiratory markers)
- Lung function tests
- Chest X-ray +/- CT Scan if necessary
The tests will take at least half a day to perform. Other than blood tests there should be no discomfort. The results take at least I week to arrive and analyse. Our team will follow up and discuss your findings and devise a management plan.
You will subsequently have a follow up consultation and plan. The above screening will take at least half a day. Stress testing-involves exertion on a bike or treadmill.
CTs are only carried out in high risk patients.
The results will be available typically in a week or so where you will have follow up and a tailored management plan.
