Pulmonary Medicine

The Pulmonary Medicine Department at Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital provides a world-class service in the diagnosis and management of various Respiratory Diseases and Sleep Disorders like Asthma, COPD, Pneumonia, Interstitial Lung Disease, Lung Cancer, Tuberculosis, and sleep-related breathing Disorders. The Department boasts of a state-of-the-art Pulmonary Function Testing Lab for comprehensive lung function testing and a fully equipped Bronchoscopy suite with C-arm facility where various complex endobronchial diagnostic and therapeutic procedures are performed. Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital also conducts various specialised clinics, including an Asthma Clinic, Smoking Cessation Clinic, Sleep Clinic, and Allergy Clinic.

• Allergy Testing
  Allergy testing is an essential test to help identify specific allergens causing respiratory symptoms such as sneezing, coughing, breathlessness, or wheezing. Our team conducts a skin prick test with blood-based tests to accurately diagnose allergies. These results guide our specialists to develop an effective allergy management and long-term relief.
• Bronchoscopy
  Bronchoscopy is a minimally invasive procedure used to examine the airways and lungs. Performed by experienced pulmonologists in our advanced bronchoscopy suite, it helps diagnose conditions like infections, lung cancer, and airway blockages. Both diagnostic and therapeutic bronchoscopies are offered for comprehensive respiratory care.
• Conventional and Interventional Bronchoscopy
  Our department performs both conventional and interventional bronchoscopy procedures. While conventional bronchoscopy aids in diagnosing respiratory diseases, interventional bronchoscopy includes advanced techniques such as stent placements, balloon dilatation, and foreign body removal, offering therapeutic solutions for complex airway disorders with high precision and safety.
• Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
  COPD is a progressive lung disease that includes conditions like chronic bronchitis and emphysema. At Kokilaben Hospital, we offer expert evaluation, pulmonary rehabilitation, medication management, and lifestyle counselling to improve lung function, reduce exacerbations, and enhance the quality of life for patients with COPD.
• Endobronchial Ultrasound-Guided Transbronchial Needle Aspiration (EBUS-TBNA)
  EBUS-TBNA is a minimally invasive technique used to sample lymph nodes and masses in the chest. Performed under real-time ultrasound guidance, it is crucial for staging lung cancer and diagnosing infections or sarcoidosis. Our pulmonology team uses EBUS-TBNA for accurate, safe, and early diagnosis.
• High Flow Nasal Cannula (HFNC)
  High-flow nasal Cannula therapy delivers heated and humidified oxygen at high flow rates to patients with respiratory failure. HFNC supports oxygenation while maintaining patient comfort and reducing the need for invasive ventilation. It is particularly beneficial in managing acute hypoxemic respiratory conditions.
• Lung Transplantation
  Lung transplantation is a life-saving intervention for end-stage lung disease patients. Our multidisciplinary care team assesses, prepares, and follows up appropriate candidates through all phases—from pre-transplant evaluation to post-operative care. We provide complete care support for the best outcomes and long-term recuperation in suitable patients.
• Non-Invasive Ventilation (NIV)
  Non-Invasive Ventilation is employed for the support of respiratory failure patients without intubation. It improves oxygen saturation and decreases effort to breathe in diseases such as COPD, acute pulmonary edema, and sleep apnea. Our experienced team tracks and individualizes NIV therapy for patients.
• Polysomnography (Sleep Study)
  Polysomnography is an overnight sleep test to diagnose sleep disorders like obstructive sleep apnea, insomnia, or restless leg syndrome. Performed in our own Sleep Lab, it includes monitoring brain activity, heart rate, breathing, and oxygen levels to facilitate proper diagnosis and treatment.
• Pulmonary Function Test (PFT)
  Pulmonary Function Tests assess how efficiently your lungs function. These include spirometry, measurement of lung volume, and diffusion capacity. Our modern lab conducts full PFTs to aid in the diagnosis and monitoring of respiratory disorders such as asthma, COPD, and interstitial lung disease with accurate results.
• Thoracoscopy
  Thoracoscopy is a less invasive procedure to investigate chest diseases involving the pleura and lungs. Conducted with a thoracoscope, it provides biopsy, drainage of fluid, and pleurodesis with reduced pain and faster recovery. It is extremely important in the diagnosis of pleural disease and cancers.
