An Ergometer for the Pneumology Clinic

Thanks to the contribution of generous donors and local businesses, as well as the exceptional generosity of Distribution Matériaux Lavoie in the 18th edition of the Défi Ski Santé, the Gatineau Health Foundation made it possible for the pneumology clinic of the CISSS de l’Outaouais to acquire a new specialized device. Thanks to its new ergometer, the pneumology clinic will be able to administer cardiopulmonary effort tests and deliver better diagnostics, especially for patients with lung cancer Whereas this procedure was simply not available in prior years, approximately 75 patients will benefit from this critically important health test in its first year of use alone.
