1. SPUTUM R/M
The Sputum R/M Test is used to analyze sputum samples for abnormal cells, bacteria, or pathogens to diagnose respiratory conditions.
Provide a sputum sample early in the morning using a sterile container. Follow any specific instructions from your healthcare provider.
Results are typically available within 1 to 3 days after the sample is analyzed in the laboratory.
It helps diagnose respiratory infections, monitor lung conditions, and evaluate the effectiveness of treatments.
2. Holter Monitor
A Holter monitor is a portable device used to continuously record the electrical activity of the heart over 24 to 48 hours, capturing data during daily activities.
A Holter monitor helps detect and diagnose irregular heart rhythms (arrhythmias) that may not be captured during a standard ECG.
The monitor is attached to the patient with electrodes placed on the chest. It records heartbeats continuously while the patient carries out normal activities.
Patients experiencing symptoms such as palpitations, dizziness, fainting, or irregular heartbeats may require Holter monitoring to assess their heart’s electrical activity over an extended period.
Holter monitoring typically lasts 24 to 48 hours, depending on the doctor’s recommendation and the specific monitoring objectives.
3. STRESS TEST
A Stress Test evaluates the heart’s response to physical exertion or medication, helping diagnose heart disease and assess heart function.
Wear comfortable clothing and appropriate exercise footwear, avoid heavy meals before the test, and inform your healthcare provider about any medications.
You will exercise on a treadmill or bike while your heart rate, blood pressure, and ECG are monitored. If you are unable to exercise, medication may be used to simulate exercise.
The test is generally safe, but it may cause temporary symptoms such as dizziness or shortness of breath. Inform your healthcare provider of any concerns before the test.
Results are usually available within a day or two. A preliminary assessment may be provided immediately after the test, with a detailed report following shortly.
