Your physician may recommend:
Your doctor will perform a six-minute walk test to determine your oxygen needs. During this test, the objective is to walk as far as possible for six minutes. You will walk back and forth in the hallway while a technician tracks your oxygen levels. As you walk, you will be asked to rank how you are feeling on a scale of 1 to 10 based on an exertion chart. If the oxygen levels in your blood, which is measured via a probe on your finger, are found to be at 88% or below either at rest or with exercise, your doctor will recommend oxygen therapy.
Patients require oxygen for different reasons. Some patients always require oxygen, while others may only need additional oxygen during exercise or sleep. Equipment will vary based on the patient’s needs.

View All PostsDr. Kaner is one of my exceptional physicians who has been treating my ILD/IPF since 2016. He is a highly praised Pulmonologist, very kind and caring human being, and most responsive to follow up email communications. I am BLESSED to be his patient.
Highly regarded amongst his peers, I am confident in him as my partner in health; whose vast knowledge, experience and expertise I rely to stay healthy through routine checkups. On visits, he is in the moment with ONLY me putting me at ease and making me comfortable to talk to him and addressing all my concerns . . . questions and some that I haven't thought of; including COVID telehealth visit. I am so very thankful for him and grateful that he is caring for me.
The office is professional and personal. Dr. Berlin has been my pulmonologist for 8 years.. He takes the time to explain exams and test results, answer questions thoroughly. He respects my approach and we work out an action plan that we are comfortable with, adjusting as necessary.
