Diagnostic Respiratory Tests in Hyderabad
Accurate diagnosis before treatment. These are the standard tests performed at Respire to measure lung function, assess oxygen levels, and identify respiratory conditions early.
Tests Available at Respire
Spirometry
What is it?
Breathing test measuring lung volume and airflow
Why do we do it?
Diagnose asthma, COPD, restrictive lung diseases, and monitor treatment response
How it works
Blow into a machine following technician instructions — requires maximum effort breath
Arterial Blood Gas (ABG)
What is it?
Blood sample from a wrist artery measuring oxygen, CO₂, and pH levels
Why do we do it?
Assess respiratory failure, ventilatory problems, and acid-base imbalance
How it works
Blood drawn from the radial artery at the wrist. Mild discomfort, takes under a minute
Pulse Oximetry
What is it?
Non-invasive measurement of blood oxygen saturation (SpO₂)
Why do we do it?
Monitor oxygen levels in asthma, COPD, sleep apnea, and post-procedure recovery
How it works
Clip placed on fingertip — instant, painless reading
Home Sleep Apnea Testing (HSAT)
What is it?
Small wearable device used at home overnight to detect sleep apnea
Why do we do it?
Diagnose obstructive sleep apnea without requiring a clinic overnight stay
How it works
Sensors measure oxygen saturation, breathing effort, airflow, and heart rate while you sleep in your own bed
Chest X-Ray
What is it?
Standard imaging of the lungs, heart, and chest wall
Why do we do it?
Screen for pneumonia, TB, lung masses, pleural effusion, and other chest conditions
How it works
Stand in front of X-ray machine, take a deep breath and hold briefly
Looking for Bronchoscopy or EBUS?
Bronchoscopy, EBUS (endobronchial ultrasound), and rigid bronchoscopy are interventional procedures — not routine diagnostic tests. They are performed by Dr. Kunal Waghray and covered in full detail on the Interventional Pulmonology section.
What Happens After Your Tests?
Results reviewed same day
Spirometry and ABG results are available immediately. Dr. Pradyut or Dr. Kunal reviews findings with you during or after the appointment.
Clear explanation — no jargon
Numbers mean nothing without context. We explain what your results indicate in plain language and what the next step is.
Treatment plan if needed
