Respiratory Evaluation Services and Sleep Lab

What We Do

Respiratory Evaluation Services at West Park offers sleep studies, pulmonary function, and respiratory exercise testing for adults (18 years of age and older). Our services are open to adults with respiratory, cardiovascular, or neurological conditions.

Tests are interpreted by a respirologist and the results sent to the client or patient’s referring physician.

Pulmonary Function Testing (PFT) and Exercise Testing

Pulmonary function and pulmonary exercise testing is offered to assess lung disease type and severity. Pulmonary function tests (breathing tests) assess lung capacity, lung volumes, and the ability of the lungs to move oxygen from the lungs to the blood under normal resting conditions. Pulmonary exercise tests monitor the ability of the lungs to function and move oxygen into the bloodstream when the body is at work (exercise).​

Sleep Laboratory

West Park’s Sleep Laboratory is staffed by a fully qualified team of health care professionals to treat your sleep-related disorders. The service is part of West Park's comprehensive pulmonary functio nand respiratory diagnostic and evaluation services.​

The clinic is equipped with state-of-the-art equipment, a reception area, comfortable bedrooms, and wheelchair accessible washrooms and showers.

Tests vary from simple screening to identifying whether clients or patients require oxygen at night, to complete respiratory polysomnographic studies to assist in the assessment and management of sleep disorders.

Speak to your physician or primary health care provider if you have any questions about or suspect you have a sleep disorder.

Costs
