Pulmonology

At Graphic Era Hospital, our Pulmonology Services are dedicated to providing comprehensive care for patients with respiratory disorders and diseases. Led by experienced pulmonologists and supported by state-of-the-art technology and advanced treatment modalities, our department offers a wide range of diagnostic, therapeutic, and rehabilitative services to address respiratory health needs effectively. Here’s an overview of our Pulmonology Services:

• Diagnostic Evaluations: We offer a variety of diagnostic tests and evaluations to accurately diagnose and assess respiratory conditions. This includes pulmonary function tests (spirometry, lung volume measurement), imaging studies (chest X-rays, CT scans), bronchoscopy, sleep studies (polysomnography), allergy testing, and sputum analysis, among others.

• Treatment of Respiratory Conditions: Our pulmonologists specialize in the diagnosis and management of various respiratory conditions, including asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), pneumonia, bronchitis, interstitial lung diseases, pulmonary hypertension, cystic fibrosis, and lung cancer. We develop personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient’s specific needs, incorporating medication management, inhalation therapy, oxygen therapy, and lifestyle modifications.

• Interventional Pulmonology: We offer advanced interventional pulmonology services for the diagnosis and treatment of complex respiratory conditions. This includes procedures such as bronchoscopy, endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS), bronchial thermoplasty, bronchial stent placement, endobronchial valve insertion, and pleural interventions (thoracentesis, pleural biopsy, pleurodesis).

• Smoking Cessation Programs: We provide comprehensive smoking cessation programs and support services for individuals looking to quit smoking or reduce their tobacco use. Our pulmonologists offer counseling, behavioral interventions, pharmacotherapy, and ongoing support to help patients overcome nicotine addiction and improve their respiratory health.

• Pulmonary Rehabilitation: We offer comprehensive pulmonary rehabilitation programs for patients with chronic respiratory conditions, such as COPD, pulmonary fibrosis, and lung cancer. Our rehabilitation services focus on exercise training, breathing exercises, education, and emotional support to improve lung function, physical endurance, and quality of life.

• Telemedicine Services: We offer telemedicine consultations for select Pulmonology Services, allowing patients to consult with our pulmonologists remotely through virtual appointments. Telemedicine appointments provide convenient access to care, particularly for follow-up visits and monitoring of chronic respiratory conditions.

• Patient Education and Support: We prioritize patient education and support, providing resources, information, and guidance to empower patients to actively participate in their respiratory health management. Our pulmonologists educate patients about their condition, treatment options, self-management strategies, and preventive measures to optimize outcomes and enhance quality of life.
