Pulmonology
Welcome to Vaidehi Multi Speciality Hospital, where we offer specialized services in treating cases related to Pulmonology. Our dedicated team of experts is committed to providing comprehensive care for a wide array of respiratory conditions, ensuring patients receive the highest standard of treatment and support throughout their healthcare journey.
Pulmonology is a medical Speciality that deals with diseases involving the respiratory tract, including the lungs, bronchial tubes, nose, pharynx, and throat. Pulmonologists apply scientific knowledge and clinical expertise to diagnose and treat conditions such as asthma, COPD, pneumonia, and lung cancer. At Vaidehi Hospital, our pulmonology department focuses on both acute and chronic respiratory disorders, offering advanced diagnostic and therapeutic interventions, including sleep studies and pulmonary rehabilitation programs.
Pulmonology involves the prevention, diagnosis, and management of disorders affecting breathing and lung function. Our department utilizes cutting-edge diagnostic tools such as spirometry, bronchoscopy, CT chest imaging, pleural fluid analysis, and sleep apnea testing to accurately identify issues. Treatments include medical management with inhalers, nebulizers, and antibiotics, as well as interventional procedures like thoracentesis, biopsy, and endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS). We handle critical care for respiratory failure in ICU settings with mechanical ventilation and non-invasive support.
Our proficient team also focuses on long-term management through pulmonary rehab, smoking cessation programs, oxygen therapy, and vaccination against flu and pneumonia. Collaboration with thoracic surgery, oncology, and allergy specialists ensures integrated care for complex cases like interstitial lung disease or tuberculosis. Patient education on airway clearance techniques, environmental control, and lifestyle modifications plays a key role in preventing exacerbations. We prioritize early screening for high-risk groups, offering home care setups for chronic patients and follow-up via telepulmonology to monitor progress and adjust therapies for optimal lung health and quality of life.
