Overview
The Department of Chest Medicine (Pulmonology) at Sir Ganga Ram City Hospital is dedicated to the comprehensive diagnosis and treatment of disorders affecting the respiratory system. We understand that breathing is the fundamental essence of life; when it is compromised, it affects every aspect of your well-being.
Our department provides expert care for a wide range of pulmonary conditions, including Asthma, COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease), Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD), Tuberculosis, and Sleep Apnea. Our philosophy centers on a patient-first approach, combining clinical excellence with a compassionate environment to ensure that every patient receives a personalized roadmap to recovery.
Procedures and Services
Our Chest Medicine department utilizes advanced diagnostic and therapeutic interventions to manage complex respiratory issues. We bridge the gap between clinical symptoms and definitive relief through the following procedures:
Diagnostic Interventions
- Pulmonary Function Testing (PFT): A non-invasive series of tests that measure how well your lungs take in and release air and how efficiently they transfer oxygen into the blood.
- Diagnostic Bronchoscopy: Using a thin, flexible tube equipped with a camera to examine the airways and lungs for infections, tumors, or blockages.
- Sleep Studies (Polysomnography): Comprehensive overnight monitoring to diagnose sleep-disordered breathing, such as Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA).
- Allergy Testing: Identifying environmental triggers that exacerbate respiratory distress and asthma.
Therapeutic & Interventional Services
- Thoracentesis: A procedure to remove excess fluid from the space between the lungs and the chest wall (pleural effusion) to alleviate breathlessness.
- Non-Invasive Ventilation (NIV): Providing breathing support through a mask to treat acute respiratory failure without the need for invasive intubation.
- Nebulization and Oxygen Therapy: Managed administration of bronchodilators and supplemental oxygen for acute and chronic lung conditions.
