The pulmonary Function Department
The pulmonary Function Department founded in 1959 by the famous physiologist, Professor Zhao Lianyun, the well-known Pulmonary Function Department of Tianjin Chest Hospital is the first one in northern China to test pulmonary functions. In recent years multiple research activities lead to discoveries filling in the knowledge gaps in this field in China. We are in the domestic leading role in fundamental research, clinical practice and instrument updated. Due to the needs of discipline construction, the Department of pulmonary function was incorporated into the Department of respiratory and critical medical department in 2014, which was awarded as PCCM of pulmonary function in 2020.
The Pulmonary Function Department is equipped with various advanced instruments, such as Masterscreen PFT, Masterscreen Body plethysmography, Impulse Oscillometry, NIOX exhaled NO analyzer, Radiometer ABL800 blood gas analyzer etc.. These instruments fulfill various measurements, such as diffusion capacity, airway resistance, residual volume,bronchial provocation and dilatation experiment, blood gas and electrolytic analysis, fraction of exhaled NO.
Tianjin Chest Hospital is specialized in diagnosis and treatment of heart and lung diseases. Pulmonary function tests can diagnosis and differential diagnosis the disease of respiratory system, especially for the common diseases, frequently-occurring diseases, such as COPD, asthma, interstitial lung disease etc. Pulmonary function test can ensure the safety of patients who are undertaken cardiology-thoracic surgery.
The Department has strong technical force and experienced physicians who are qualified with intermediate or senior technical titles. As a PCCM single rest base, it can train many professional respiratory physiology clinicians every year. Now, it is one of the best laboratories in this field in China.
