Procedure
Step 1: Initial Consultation
Schedule an initial consultation for the Zephyr Valve treatment.
Discuss your symptoms with your primary doctor to determine whether or not Zephyr Valves may be right for you. At your appointment, be prepared to discuss how your daily life is affected by shortness of breath and COPD symptoms. It is also helpful to keep notes on your symptoms and limitations so that you have a list to share.
To help guide the conversation with your physician, take the eligibility quiz and get a downloadable discussion guide. If you’ve already taken the eligibility quiz, remember to take your Doctor Discussion Guide with you to your appointment.
Step 2: Assessment Tests
Find an Assessment or Treating Center to perform the tests needed to see if you are a candidate.
The most common tests required are:
- Pulmonary Function Testing (PFTs)
- CT scan
- 6-minute walk test
- Additional tests, such as an EKG or perfusion scan may be required
- ABG (a blood test)
