• Spirometry / Pulmonary Function test: Intake of inhalers should be avoided for 24 hours (if possible) prior to the test. Do this only in consultation with your prescribing Physician. Due to the pandemic, Pulmonary Function Test (PFT) ** will be done only for individuals who have COVID - 19 RTPCR negative report (maximum 7 days old) or a recovery certificate by a certified practitioner.
• Ultrasound test: A strong urge to pass urine implies a full bladder. We suggest that you consume 1 - 2 liters of water starting 1 hour prior to your appointment time. This will ensure that you have a full bladder at the time of your ultrasound test (if included in the package).
