Lung Function Laboratory
Our state-of-the-art Lung Function Laboratory offers a wide range of diagnostic tests, including Complex Lung Function & Mannitol Challenge Testing, as well as more specialised tests including respiratory muscle strength measures and overnight oximetry. These are often critical in the diagnosis and management of airways and other lung diseases.
This on-site facility at North Shore Private functions 5 days a week, and allows timely investigation of our patients presenting with respiratory complaints. It also allows our physicians to accurately monitor and titrate treatment regimes. Tests are performed by our highly experienced laboratory scientists, and supervised by our qualified physicians with extensive experience in physiological testing.
Lung Function testing is available to all patients with a valid referral, and does not necessarily require specialist consultation. Referral can be provided by any medical practitioner, including General Practitioners.
