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…

A Deborah^® physician uses this information to determine the cause of symptoms like light-headedness and fainting spells.

Ultrasonic Debridement

Ultrasonic debridement takes place in the operating room and uses a high-power water jet tool that allows a Deborah^® wound care specialist to precisely debride unhealthy tissue, bacteria and nonviable tissue from a wound.
