Hello Doctor,
I am planning to do a Pulmonary Function Test (PFT/spirometry) in a Government Hospital. I noticed that they may not use disposable spirometry filters and instead use a reusable mouthpiece/tube.
I want to know:
Can I buy my own single-use spirometry filter from a medical store or online?
Will it fit most spirometry machines?
Is it generally allowed to carry and use my own filter during the test in a Government Hospital?
Has anyone done this before?
Will using my own filter affect the accuracy of the test?
I am mainly concerned about hygiene and infection safety.
Thank you
Hello Doctor,
I am noticing since few days when my wife started sleep her breathing is stopped for 15-20 seconds..she is unable to breathe,one day she was fainted due to broken breathe.in that situation she is helpless.. earlier it happened in a month but now it's happening every second day..it happened just before I am writing this and it happens only in nights.
I have had cough for 2 months. First it was dry and now it's not . I have finished three cough syrups. I did some tests recommended by other dr. It's still now gone . It gets worse at nights and when i am talking too much . Kindly find the attached. I have done cbc, ctr and sputum test .nothing came in any tests .
My father aged 69 had sudden attacks few days back and was admitted in ICU for the treatment but the doctors couldnt detect the root cause of it at all ,his reports said pulmonary flash edema and heart failure but now out of danger and came back to home but still in oxygen support .what to do next have attached the discharge summary .
