Treatments Offered
Diagnostic and therapeutic interventions by employing video-assisted flexible bronchoscopy, rigid bronchoscopy, thoracoscopy & EBUS guided procedures.
Lesions like benign cancers, sub-glottic stenosis, lung cancers are the obstructive lesions (tracheobronchial stenosis) diagnosed and treated by employing electric current to open up the airways and to stop bleeding.
Laser beam is employed in bronchoscopy for tumour debulking, to remove obstructions (stenosis) that cause shortness of breath with high precision.
In this technique, small balloons are passed through the bronchoscope to dilate bronchial tubes. This is quite similar to the way in which cardiologists perform angioplasty.
Airway obstructions are usually caused by tracheal or bronchial stenosis (benign or cancerous). To remove such obstructions, the airways are kept open with the help of a stent placed inside the airway, with the help of either a rigid/ flexible video bronchoscope.
Ventilation of the lungs can be achieved non-invasively (without having to put tubes into the throat) with the help of machines and motors that generate airflow at high pressure, which is then passed to the patients by means of face masks. This technique is useful for patients with breathing difficulties and sleep problems.
Investigations
Rigid Bronchoscopy
For patients who are not candidates for fibre-optic bronchoscopy, rigid bronchoscopy is the preferred diagnostic and therapeutic technique for tumour and foreign body removal, stenting and sometimes to deal with significant bleeding.
Autofluorescence Bronchoscopy
This technique is an advanced way to detect pre-cancerous lesions of the lung. In auto-fluorescence bronchoscopy, a bronchoscope with special light (NBI) is passed through the bronchial tubes to identify any abnormalities, which are quite difficult to be seen by standard bronchoscopy.
Endobronchial Ultrasound (EBUS)
A bronchoscope with an ultrasound probe at the tip is used by the pulmonologist to detect abnormalities and perform biopsies in the inaccessible and abnormal areas of the lung (mediastinal & hilar lymph glands). This technique is precise, accurate and thus minimizes the risk of puncturing blood vessels inside the lungs, as it is done under guidance of ultrasound.
Pulmonary Function Testing (PFT)
The various pulmonary function tests are used to assess the breathing capacity/lung capacity of individuals. A team of experienced and trained technicians perform PFTs in the PFT lab. They are useful in the diagnosis of conditions like Asthma, ILD, and COPD.
Thoracoscopy / Pleuroscopy
In this procedure, a thoracoscope (camera) is used to examine the space surrounding the lungs. The camera is inserted via a small hole (1-2 cm) under local anaesthesia and a careful examination of the space is done and biopsies are taken under direct vision as opposed to the blind biopsies done previously.
