Pulmonology
Both flexible and rigid bronchoscopy services are provided by the department of pulmonology. The department is renowned for its skillful work in transbronchial needle aspiration (TBNA)/biopsies, endobronchial electrosurgery, balloon Brachioplasty, and stenting during interventional bronchoscopy. Pleuroscopy and video-assisted thoracoscopic operations are added to the department's repertoire of skills. The Endobronchial Ultrasound (EBUS) facility is also available at the Pulmonology Department. The department uses all cutting-edge, contemporary equipment for bronchoscopic diagnosis.
The department also has a specialist sleep laboratory where patients with diseases and conditions such as obese hypoventilation syndrome, obstructive sleep apnea, excessive daytime sleepiness, snoring disorders, and many more can undergo a variety of sleep tests.
The highly skilled staff of pulmonologists has experience treating patients of all ages with the utmost care and to the full satisfaction of the patient. They are highly specialized in complex surgical and medicinal treatments.
The pulmonologists at Sushruta Hospitals collaborate with professionals in practically every other specialty to provide the patient with individualized and successful care. a medical professional with specialized expertise in identifying and treating lung conditions. Likewise known as a pulmonologist.
An expert in identifying and treating disorders of the respiratory system, which includes the lungs and other breathing-related organs, is known as a pulmonologist.
Pulmonology is one of the many subspecialties of internal medicine, which focuses on adult health. Pulmonologists concentrate on illnesses of the respiratory system.
PULMONARY FUNCTION LABORATORY:
Advanced Jaegers integrated system with lung diffusion, maximal inspiratory expiratory pressure, and volume tests are available in the PFT lab. This facility frequently performs preoperative evaluations on patients undergoing thoracic and extrathoracic procedures. Patients who can't be relocated to the lab can also use the bedside spirometry facility.
VIDEO-ASSISTED BRONCHOSCOPY:
Both for diagnostic and therapeutic reasons, bronchoscopes with and without video capabilities, including ultrathin bronchoscopes, are readily accessible. These facilities are used in cases like non-resolving radiological shadows, unexplained respiratory symptoms, blood in sputum, foreign body aspirations, and lung cancer. The facility offers all forms of lung cancer diagnostics, including PET scans.
ENDOBRONCHIAL ULTRASOUND (EBU)
The diagnosis of lung cancer, infections, and other disorders that cause swollen lymph nodes in the chest is made using this minimally invasive yet extremely successful treatment. Transbronchial needle aspiration (TBNA), a method for obtaining tissue or fluid samples from the lungs and surrounding lymph nodes without traditional surgery, is made possible by EBUS. The samples can be used to diagnose and stage lung cancer, find infections, and find other malignancies like lymphoma or inflammatory lung illnesses like sarcoidosis.
RADIOLOGY:
The identification of lung illnesses can be aided by the use of chest X-rays, computerised tomography (CT), CT angiography, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), ultrasonography, nuclear lung scanning, pulmonary artery angiography, and positron emission tomography (PET) services.
