What Is an Emphysema Evaluation?

An emphysema evaluation helps determine the severity of lung disease, identify potential triggers, and guide treatment decisions. During your visit, our providers will assess breathing difficulties, monitor oxygen levels, review your medical history, and provide recommendations to improve lung function and quality of life.

What We Review During Your Emphysema Consultation:
  • Breathing difficulties, shortness of breath, and exercise tolerance
  • Oxygen saturation and pulmonary function assessment
  • Smoking history, environmental exposures, and risk factors
  • Lab tests, imaging, or spirometry if indicated
  • Medication review, inhaler technique, and therapy guidance
  • Lifestyle and rehabilitation recommendations

Why Early Emphysema Evaluation Matters

In-home evaluation reduces travel stress for patients with respiratory conditions and allows for safer monitoring. UrgentCare2Go® providers detect early signs of progression and optimize home care plans.

  • Assess severity and progression of emphysema
  • Identify triggers and environmental factors
  • Optimize medication and oxygen therapy
  • Provide guidance on pulmonary rehabilitation and lifestyle adjustments
