Our dedicated team of skilled pulmonologists, supported by cutting-edge technology, is committed to delivering personalized care to patients with various respiratory conditions.

Our Pulmonology Services:

1. Diagnostic Excellence

Our Pulmonology department is equipped with advanced diagnostic tools to accurately assess and diagnose a wide range of respiratory conditions. From pulmonary function tests (PFTs) to bronchoscopy, we employ the latest techniques to identify and understand the underlying causes of respiratory issues.

At M&M Ortho Multispeciality Hospitals, we prioritize Diagnostic Excellence in our Pulmonology services to ensure precise and thorough assessments of respiratory conditions. Our commitment to staying at the forefront of medical technology allows us to offer a comprehensive range of advanced diagnostic tools, enabling our expert pulmonologists to deliver accurate diagnoses and personalized treatment plans.

Key Components of Diagnostic Excellence:

  1. Pulmonary Function Tests (PFTs): Our state-of-the-art PFT lab is equipped with the latest equipment to measure lung capacity, airflow, and gas exchange accurately. PFTs are crucial in diagnosing conditions such as asthma, chronic bronchitis, and restrictive lung diseases. Our skilled technicians work closely with our pulmonologists to obtain reliable and insightful results.
  2. Imaging Studies: We utilize cutting-edge imaging technologies, including high-resolution chest CT scans and X-rays, to visualize the respiratory system in detail. This enables us to identify abnormalities, such as lung nodules, tumors, or infections, and aids in the precise localization and characterization of pulmonary issues.
  3. Bronchoscopy: M&M Ortho Multispeciality Hospitals is equipped with advanced bronchoscopy facilities, allowing for direct visualization of the airways. This diagnostic procedure is invaluable in detecting and evaluating conditions such as lung infections, tumors, and foreign body aspirations. Our skilled interventional pulmonologists perform bronchoscopies with precision, ensuring minimal discomfort for the patient.
  4. Sleep Studies: For patients with suspected sleep-related breathing disorders, we conduct comprehensive sleep studies (polysomnography). This diagnostic tool helps identify conditions such as sleep apnea, guiding the development of effective treatment plans to improve sleep quality and overall health.
  5. Laboratory Investigations: Our in-house laboratories perform a range of blood tests and respiratory culture studies. These investigations aid in identifying the underlying causes of respiratory symptoms, such as infections, inflammatory conditions, or autoimmune disorders, contributing to a more accurate diagnosis.
  6. Allergy Testing: In cases where allergies may contribute to respiratory issues, we offer advanced allergy testing to identify specific triggers. This information is crucial for developing personalized treatment plans, including allergen avoidance strategies and immunotherapy.
  7. Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing (CPET): CPET is utilized to assess the integrated function of the heart, lungs, and muscles during exercise. This diagnostic tool helps in evaluating exercise tolerance, identifying the causes of exercise-related symptoms, and guiding rehabilitation strategies for individuals with respiratory conditions.

Collaborative Approach to Diagnosis:

Our commitment to Diagnostic Excellence extends beyond individual tests. Our pulmonologists collaborate with other specialists, including radiologists, pathologists, and internal medicine physicians, to ensure a comprehensive evaluation of each patient’s condition. This collaborative approach facilitates accurate and timely diagnoses, allowing for the development of targeted and effective treatment plans.

At M&M Ortho Multispeciality Hospitals, we believe that a precise diagnosis is the foundation of successful pulmonary care.

4. Interventional Pulmonology

We specialize in interventional pulmonology procedures, such as bronchoscopic interventions, thoracentesis, and pleuroscopy. These minimally invasive techniques allow for precise diagnosis and targeted treatments, reducing recovery times and enhancing overall patient comfort.

At M&M Ortho Multispeciality Hospitals, our Interventional Pulmonology services are at the forefront of innovation, combining advanced technology with the expertise of our skilled pulmonologists. This specialized branch of pulmonology focuses on minimally invasive procedures to diagnose and treat a range of respiratory conditions. Our commitment to excellence in interventional pulmonology ensures that our patients benefit from precise diagnoses and targeted therapies, resulting in improved respiratory health.

Key Components of Interventional Pulmonology:

  1. Advanced Bronchoscopy: Our state-of-the-art facilities are equipped with advanced bronchoscopy technology, allowing our interventional pulmonologists to visualize and access the respiratory system with exceptional precision. Flexible and rigid bronchoscopies are performed to examine the airways, obtain tissue samples, and diagnose conditions such as lung cancer, infections, and inflammatory disorders.
  2. Endobronchial Ultrasound (EBUS): EBUS is a cutting-edge diagnostic tool that combines bronchoscopy with ultrasound imaging. This technique enables our pulmonologists to visualize and biopsy mediastinal and hilar lymph nodes with high accuracy. EBUS is particularly valuable in staging lung cancer and diagnosing various mediastinal pathologies.
  3. Navigational Bronchoscopy: Our interventional pulmonologists utilize navigational bronchoscopy to access and biopsy peripheral lung lesions that are challenging to reach with traditional bronchoscopy. This technology enhances diagnostic capabilities and allows for precise targeting of abnormalities within the lungs.
  4. Pleuroscopy and Medical Thoracoscopy: For the evaluation of pleural conditions such as pleural effusions and pleuritis, we offer pleuroscopy and medical thoracoscopy. These minimally invasive procedures involve the insertion of a thin, flexible tube into the pleural space, allowing for direct visualization, tissue sampling, and therapeutic interventions.
  5. Lung Nodule Management: Our interventional pulmonologists specialize in the management of lung nodules, offering diagnostic procedures such as electromagnetic navigational bronchoscopy (ENB) and radial endobronchial ultrasound (R-EBUS). These techniques enable accurate localization and biopsy of small lung nodules, facilitating early diagnosis and intervention.
  6. Bronchial Thermoplasty: In cases of severe asthma that are not adequately controlled by traditional medications, our interventional pulmonologists may recommend bronchial thermoplasty. This procedure uses controlled thermal energy to reduce smooth muscle mass in the airways, providing long-term relief for patients with persistent asthma symptoms.
  7. Endobronchial Valve Placement: For patients with advanced chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and severe emphysema, endobronchial valve placement is a minimally invasive option to improve lung function. This procedure involves placing small, one-way valves in the airways to redirect airflow and improve ventilation in healthier parts of the lung.

Patient-Centric Care:

At M&M Ortho Multispeciality Hospitals, we prioritize patient comfort and well-being throughout the interventional pulmonology process. Our team ensures clear communication before, during, and after procedures, addressing any concerns and providing detailed information about the intended benefits and potential risks.

Collaborative Approach:

Interventional pulmonology often involves collaboration with other specialists, including thoracic surgeons, oncologists, and radiologists. Our interdisciplinary approach ensures comprehensive care, with specialists working together to develop optimal treatment plans for each patient.

Continuous Monitoring and Follow-up:

Post-interventional care is a crucial aspect of our approach. We provide continuous monitoring and follow-up to assess the effectiveness of procedures, manage any potential complications, and ensure the ongoing respiratory health of our patients.
