Pulmonary Function Studies

Lung function tests, also called pulmonary function studies, include a variety of tests that check how well the lungs work. Tests include: Spirometry – measures the amount of air the lungs can hold and how forcefully one can empty air from the lungs Lung Volume Testing – measures the volume of air in the lungs,…

Pulmonary Resections

Pulmonary resection is a minimally-invasive thoracic surgery procedure to remove part or the entire lung. Types of resection include: Wedge Resection – surgery to remove a triangle-shaped slice of tissue Segmentectomy – surgery to remove a section of a lobe of lung Lobectomy – surgery to remove one lobe of the lung Bilobectomy – surgery…

Tilt Table Test

A tilt table test records a patient’s blood pressure, heart rhythm and heart rate as the table is tilted to different angles. The table always stays head-up and shows how different positions affect these metrics. A Deborah^® physician uses this information to determine the cause of symptoms like light-headedness and fainting spells.

This plaque buildup may restrict blood flow to the brain. During the endarterectomy, a Deborah^® surgeon will open the carotid artery and removes the arterial plaques before closing and repairing the…
