Bronchoscope
Endobronchial Ultrasound (EBUS)
In additional to performing a bronchoscopy, our physicians may use endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) to send sound waves through the walls of your airways and into the surrounding areas, including the lungs and mediastinum (the area of the chest that lies between the lungs). This procedure provides a better view or understanding of a particular site that is abnormal in presentation.
Reasons for performing an endobronchial ultrasound:
- To look for the presence of tumors or enlarged lymph nodes.
- To diagnose tumors within the lung
- To diagnose lymph nodes in the mediastinum
Pulmonary function test
Pulmonary function test is a complete evaluation of the respiratory system including patient history, physical examinations, and tests of pulmonary function. The primary purpose of pulmonary function testing is to identify the severity of pulmonary impairment.
Pulmonary function testing at Pulmonary Practice Associates is administered by one of our registered/certified respiratory therapists. This test allows our physicians to gain a better understanding of a patient’s lung capacity and restrictions, if any. This test can also assist in determining the effectiveness of respiratory medications by performing pre-medicated and post-medicated pulmonary function testing.
