Diagnostic Spectrum of Pulmonology
In our Pulmonology Clinic (two locations), we examine and treat all lung diseases, especially lung cancer.
Lung Function Analysis
- Small Lung Function Test (Spirometry): Measurement of Respiratory Volumes
- Large Lung Function Test (Body Plethysmography): Measurement of Airway Resistance and Intrathoracic Gas Volume
- Nonspecific Bronchial Provocation via Dosimeter
- Measurement of Transfer Factor
- Measurement of Lung Compliance
- Measurement of Respiratory Drive
- Measurement of Respiratory Muscle Strength
- Blood Gas Analysis
- FeNO Testing in Exhaled Air
Cardiological Examinations
- Electrocardiogram (ECG)
- Stress ECG
- 24-Hour Blood Pressure Monitoring
- Echocardiography
- Transesophageal Echocardiography
- Right Heart Catheterization including Pharmacological Testing
Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing
- 6-Minute Walk Test
- Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing (Spiroergometry) to Determine the Performance Reserves of the Lungs and Cardiovascular System (on a bicycle ergometer, treadmill, or hand crank)
Radiological Imaging
- Chest X-ray (Overview)
- Computed Tomography (16-slice) including High-Resolution Analysis (HRCT)
- Lung Scintigraphy for Assessing Lung Perfusion and Ventilation
- Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
- Digital Fluoroscopy Unit
- Angiography and Interventions (DSA)
- PET-CT Scan (Positron Emission Tomography)
Sonography (Ultrasound Examination)
- Sonography of the Thorax
- Sonography of the Diaphragm
- Endobronchial Sonography (EBUS) and Endosonography (EUS)
- Sonography of the Abdomen
- Sonography of Peripheral Vessels
Sleep-Related Breathing Disorders
- Screening for Sleep-Related Breathing Disorders (outpatient)
- Polysomnography (7 beds)
- Pulse Oximetry
- Capnography
- Adjustment to Mask Ventilation (nCPAP, BiPAP)
Bronchoscopy / Endoscopy
- Flexible Video Bronchoscopy (with fluoroscopy if necessary)
- Rigid Bronchoscopy under Anesthesia
- Endobronchial Sonography (EBUS)
- Endosonography (EUS)
- Miniprobe (for peripheral lesions)
- Navigational Bronchoscopy
- Esophago-Gastroscopy
Interventions in the Pleural Space
- Pleural Effusion Puncture and Examination of Pleural Effusion Fluid
- Pleural Drains
Allergology
- Cutaneous Prick Testing
- Determination of IgE and specific IgEs to various allergens
- Determination of Aspergillus-specific antigens (Asp 1-6)
Infectiology
In-house infectiology is based on three pillars: in-house guidelines for the diagnosis and therapy of infections; consultation service for infectiological advice and antibiotic stewardship to ensure treatment quality; close collaboration with hygiene for infection prevention.
- Infectiological Diagnostics (non-invasive and invasive)
- Infectiological Consultation Service
- Antibiotic Stewardship (ABS)
Interventional Techniques
- Argon Laser Therapy
- Cryotherapy
- Stent Implantation
- Lung Volume Reduction Techniques
- Placement of Feeding Tube (PEG)
