Pulmonary medicine clinic
- Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD): A group of diseases that cause airflow blockage and breathing-related problems.
- Asthma: A condition where your airways become inflamed, narrow, and swell, making breathing difficult.
- Pulmonary Fibrosis: A lung disease that occurs when lung tissue becomes damaged and scarred.
- Sleep Apnea: A serious sleep disorder where breathing repeatedly stops and starts.
- Lung Cancer: A type of cancer that begins in the lungs.
- Interstitial Lung Disease: A group of disorders that cause progressive scarring of lung tissue.
These clinics typically offer services such as:
- Pulmonary Function Tests: Tests to measure lung capacity and function.
- Bronchoscopy: A procedure to view the airways and diagnose abnormalities.
- Imaging Studies: X-rays or CT scans to view the lungs and surrounding structures.
- Respiratory Therapy: Treatments to help improve breathing, including inhalers and nebulizers.
- Sleep Studies: Tests to diagnose sleep disorders.

Emergency pulmonary services
Emergency pulmonary services provide urgent care for severe respiratory issues and crises. They focus on:
- Acute Respiratory Distress: Immediate treatment for conditions like severe asthma attacks, COPD exacerbations, or pneumonia.
- Advanced Monitoring: Rapid assessment of lung function and oxygen levels using tools like spirometry and blood gas analysis.
- Interventions: Administration of medications (e.g., bronchodilators, corticosteroids), oxygen therapy, and mechanical ventilation if needed.
- Stabilization and Transfer: Stabilizing the patient and arranging for further care or transfer to a specialized facility if necessary.

Pulmonary function testing
Pulmonary function testing (PFT) evaluates lung performance through several key tests:
- Spirometry: Measures airflow and lung capacity. You breathe into a device to gauge how much and how quickly you can exhale.
- Lung Volumes: Assesses total lung capacity and air trapping, often using a body plethysmograph or gas dilution techniques.
- Diffusion Capacity (DLCO): Measures how well gases like oxygen pass from the lungs into the blood by inhaling a small amount of carbon monoxide.
- Peak Expiratory Flow (PEF): Measures the maximum speed of exhalation using a peak flow meter, commonly used for asthma monitoring.
- Bronchial Provocation Testing: Determines airway sensitivity by inhaling a substance that may induce constriction, followed by spirometry.

Pain Medicine
Our Pain Medicine team consists of doctors (anesthesia, orthopedics, neurology), nurses and physical therapists. We focus on the diagnosis and management of chronic pain, including chronic headaches, neuropathic pain and other pain (neck, back, joints).
Pain Medicine specialists listen carefully to your problem and develop a comprehensive personalized treatment plan suitable for you.
Our multidisciplinary team may use a combination of medications, exercises, regional anesthesia blocks, epidural catheter technique, massage, interferential therapy and other methods. We are committed to reducing your pain and improving your quality of life.


Pulmonary rehabilitation
Pulmonary rehabilitation is a comprehensive program designed to improve the quality of life for individuals with chronic respiratory conditions like COPD, asthma, or pulmonary fibrosis. It typically includes:
- Exercise Training: Tailored physical activities to enhance endurance and strength.
- Education: Information on managing symptoms, medication use, and breathing techniques.
- Nutrition Counseling: Guidance on diet to support overall health and lung function.
- Behavioral Therapy: Support for coping with the psychological aspects of chronic lung disease.
At Amara hospital, we understand the importance of respiratory health in maintaining overall well-being. Our state-of-the-art Pulmonary Function Testing (PFT) services are designed to accurately assess lung function and diagnose respiratory conditions. Led by a team of experienced pulmonologists, we offer comprehensive testing to individuals of all ages.
Our Services Include:
Spirometry is a basic test which evaluates how well you breathe by evaluating the amount and speed of air you inhale and exhale.
It helps to diagnose conditions like asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and other lung diseases
Patients will be asked to take deep breaths and blow into a small device called a spirometer.
This test measures the total amount of air in the lungs and how much remains after a full exhalation.
It aids in diagnosing restrictive lung diseases and assessing the effectiveness of respiratory therapies.
It involves breathing various gases through a mouthpiece connected to specialized equipment.
Whether you are experiencing respiratory symptoms or need routine testing, AMARA hospital is committed to support your lung health journey. Schedule your pulmonary function test today and breathe easier with confidence.
