Therefore, seeking specialist respiratory care as soon as the first symptoms of respiratory system diseases appear is highly recommended.<\/p>\n\n<p>To ensure the effective diagnosis and treatment of respiratory and lung diseases, the highly experienced specialists at the Baltic American Clinic use only state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment and evidence-based treatment methods.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pulmonology services<\/h2>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Consultation with a pulmonologist<\/h3>\n\n<p>An in-depth discussion with a pulmonologist to discuss your symptoms, followed by a physical examination, evaluation of existing test results, and the creation of an individualised diagnostic and treatment plan. During the consultation, the doctor will assess the condition of your respiratory tract, lung function, and your general health.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Baseline spirometry<\/h3>\n\n<p>A non-invasive lung function test that measures the volume and speed of air a person can exhale after taking a deep breath. The test helps to diagnose asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and other respiratory disorders.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Spirometry with a bronchodilator<\/h3>\n\n<p>A lung function test during which the patient is administered a bronchodilator (a medicine that widens the airways) and baseline spirometry is repeated. The test helps to diagnose asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Exercise spirometry<\/h3>\n\n<p>An assessment of lung function before and after physical exertion. This test is particularly useful for diagnosing exercise-induced asthma and other respiratory disorders that only manifest during physical activity.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pleural aspiration<\/h3>\n\n<p>A procedure where fluid is removed from the pleural cavity (the space between the lungs and the chest wall) using a special needle for laboratory analysis. This is an important diagnostic method that helps determine the causes of pleurisy, pneumonia, tuberculosis, and other conditions.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why choose pulmonology services at the Baltic American Clinic?<\/h2>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Professional approach<\/strong> \u2013 consultations are provided by experienced pulmonology specialists<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Comprehensive services<\/strong> \u2013 from consultations to specialised tests<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Clarity<\/strong> \u2013 complex medical information is presented in clear, easy-to-understand language<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Individualised care<\/strong> \u2013 each case is treated with consideration of the patient&#8217;s unique circumstances<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<p>We welcome your calls to our admissions department 24\/7!<\/p>\n\n<p> <\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<p>For more information, call <strong><a href=\"tel:852342020\"> 8 5 234 2020<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The respiratory system is a vital part of the body, responsible for oxygen absorption and the removal of carbon dioxide.
