Respiratory Diseases
Respiratory medicine is a medical speciality that deals with diseases involving the respiratory tract. We also conduct respiratory testing onsite including DLCO, Lung Function Test, spirometry and nasal resistance testing (Rhinomanometry) at our Respiratory lab at Corrimal.
Types of Respiratory Diseases
Respiratory medicine is considered a branch of internal medicine, and is related to intensive care medicine. It often involves managing patients who need life support and mechanical ventilation.
Respiratory Specialists are specially trained in diseases and conditions of the chest, particularly pneumonia, asthma, tuberculosis, emphysema, and complicated chest infections.
