The Department of pulmonology or pulmonary medicine includes the diagnosis and
treatment of conditions related to the respiratory system which includes the lungs, bronchial
tubes, trachea, nose, and other structures involved in breathing. Interventional pulmonology is
a subspecialty of pulmonary medicine that focuses on the use of minimally invasive procedures to
diagnose and treat various respiratory and pulmonary conditions.
At CARE Hospitals, we have highly skilled and experienced pulmonologists and interventional
pulmonologists who are committed to offering patients with a range of lung disorders, anomalies
of the airways, and pleural diseases. We specialise in providing a wide range of therapeutic
services, such as airway stricture from benign and malignant causes, amyloidosis, carcinoid
tumours, chronic cough, compressed airways, congenital airway stenosis, COPD, coughing up blood
(hemoptysis), endobronchial tumours, pleural effusion, lung cancer, persistent respiratory
failure, tuberculosis, and many more. We provide unmatched treatment options by employing
state-of-the-art facilities and advanced techniques.
Pulmonology
Interventional Pulmonology
Bronchoscopy is the examination done to know the health of your lungs and the path to them or the tracheobronchial tree, using a flexible videoscope. We have the latest state -of-the art 4K resolution bronchoscope which is the first installation in India. This new age device offers the chance to examine from inside the tracheobronchial tree in living patients while keeping the procedure noninvasive. One of the more common modalities we offer is Bronchoscopies in both Paediatrics & Adults. We are well equipped with entire range of flexible bronchoscopes including ultra thin instruments.
Rigid Bronchoscope continues to be in demand in Pulmonology mostly because it offers better visualisation, ease of treatment of massive hemoptysis (or bloody expectorant), dilation of the tracheobronchial passages, and removal of foreign bodies. However, during laser procedures, it is the Rigid Bronchoscope that is used since it allows the patient far more reliable ventilation, especially when attempting to move large obstructing tissue masses to make an airway. These days, Rigid Bronchoscopy is used mostly in Paediatric Pulmonological cases for the removal of foreign bodies from the air passages; mostly in conjunction with fibre-optics bronchoscopy.
The Flexible Fibre-Optic Bronchoscope is primarily used for diagnostic studies but with the advancements in medical technology, it has become an instrument of choice for therapeutic procedures too. In cases of an undiagnosed cough and obscure shadow in the lungs, this instrument is invaluable since it can be used to examine the inside of the lung visually as well as obtain biopsy material from the area.
The Pulmonology team at CARE is trained and headed by experienced pulmonologists in the realm of Paediatric Bronchoscopy, whether using Flexible Fibre-optic Bronchoscopy or Rigid Bronchoscopy.
EBUS (Endobronchial Ultrasound) Bronchoscopy is a procedure used to diagnose different types of lung disorders, including inflammation, infections, or cancer. EBUS is of two types - Convex EBUS and Radial EBUS. Convex EBUS is used for diagnosing the etiology of mediastinal lymph nodes and masses. It is also a useful tool for staging cancer by which a plan of treatment is decided. Radial EBUS is used to sample peripheral lung nodules and masses without much complication.
