SERVICES
- Consult pneumology professor
- Consult pulmonology specialist doctor
- Imaging interpretation (patient comes with x-ray/CT disc) – ability to be interpreted locally, NOT done on location
- Simple spirometry/bronchodilation test
- Holter pulse oximetry (WristOx – American technology) – screening for sleep apnea syndrome
- Ventilation polygraphy with mask + humidifier for comfort – 2 devices
- Auto-titration stations (autoCPAP and for severe cases autoBiPAP) – to establish the treatment in cases already confirmed with SASO
- Trans-pulmonary ultrasound (Mindray device) – interstitial/pleural disease screening as well as grading of parenchymal disease post-COVID
Diabetes and nutrition
Integrative part of the risk assessment and the establishment of the treatment conduct in the complex cardio-thoracic patient; indications regarding lifestyle modification, useful both in primary prevention and post-acute coronary syndrome.
SERVICES
- Consult a specialist doctor
- Interpretation of analyzes and referral to further investigations
- Establishing a diet plan and physical activity according to the objective required to significantly reduce cardiovascular risk in a personalized way
Psychotherapy
Ensuring the necessary psychological support, for the two-way, somato-psychic implications of chronic organic diseases, typically cardio-pulmonary, as well as the analysis of psycho-somatic rebound in the case of patients with negative screening for organic aliments.
SERVICES
- Initial assessment
- Recurring sessions with an accredited psychotherapist practitioner, experienced in supporting patients
Geriatrics and Gerontology
The chronic nature of cardiopulmonary pathology often involves working with elderly patients. Co-morbidities have a greater probability with advancing age, thus, the geriatric specialist corroborates the diagnoses and indications of several experts and adapts them to the needs and lifestyle of the elderly.
SERVICES
- Initial geriatric evaluation
- Advising the patient in practical ways of integrating the recommendations of several specialists
