Pulmonary examination and routine medical monitoring
Timely and accurate diagnosis of respiratory diseases by a specialized pediatric pulmonologist is sometimes essential to prevent potential complications, including chronic impairment of lung function and disruptions to a child’s development.
Spirometry
Spirometry is a painless, simple, and commonly used test to assess lung function. It is typically performed in children aged 6 years and older, as it requires full cooperation.
Body plethysmography
In some cases, basic spirometry is not sufficient. It may be necessary to assess static lung volumes—such as total lung capacity, residual volume, functional residual capacity, airway conductance, and airway resistance.

Spirometry After Exercise
Spirometry after exercise is used in older children and adolescents when basic spirometry results are normal, but there is still a strong suspicion of asthma.
Exhaled Nitric Oxide Measurement (FeNO)
The FeNO test (Fractional exhaled Nitric Oxide) is a non-invasive method for detecting airway inflammation, commonly seen in allergic asthma.
Nasal Nitric Oxide Measurement (nNO)
Nasal nitric oxide measurement is a simple, painless test primarily used in children with a history of recurrent pneumonia to help rule out primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD).

Peak Cough Flow (PCF) Measurement
Peak cough flow is measured to assess whether a child can cough effectively—particularly important in children with neuromuscular diseases (NMDs).
Sleep Study (Polysomnography)
Sleep quality is crucial for the healthy physical and psychological development of children.
Bronchoscopy
In certain complex cases—such as chronic cough unresponsive to treatment, recurrent pneumonia, or suspected airway abnormalities—bronchoscopy may be required for further diagnosis and, sometimes, treatment.

Telemedicine
In special circumstances—such as when the patient is unable to attend the office in person, despite it being wheelchair accessible—we offer telemedicine consultations via video call.
