Interventional & Diagnostic Pulmonology Capabilities

Our department is equipped with advanced interventional tools to assess and treat complex pulmonary conditions with precision and minimal invasiveness:

Learn More

Bronchoscopy (Flexible & Rigid)

Enables direct visualization of airways to diagnose tumors, infections, strictures, or bleeding, and perform sampling or stent placement. Particularly effective in addressing hemoptysis and airway obstructions.

Learn More

Thoracoscopy & Medical Pleuroscopy

Minimally invasive techniques to examine and biopsy the lung's outer layer (pleura), ideal for evaluating pleural effusions or tumors.

Learn More

Endobronchial Ultrasound (EBUS)

Real-time ultrasound via bronchoscope to visualize and sample lymph nodes or lung masses—vital in staging lung cancer, diagnosing TB, sarcoidosis, or mediastinal lesions.

Learn More

Advanced Sampling & Navigation Techniques

Includes transbronchial needle biopsy (TBNA), pleural fluid aspiration, and ultrasound/CT-guided lung sampling for accurate, safe diagnosis.

Advanced Pulmonar Diagnostic Facilities

At KD Super Speciality Hospital, our Pulmonology Department is equipped with a comprehensive suite of diagnostic tools to accurately assess and manage respiratory and lung conditions. Our goal is to provide precise, timely diagnoses using both traditional and cutting-edge technology.

Pulmonary Function Testing (PFT) & Respiratory Assessment

We house a fully equipped Pulmonary Function Lab that performs essential tests such as spirometry, lung volume analysis, diffusion capacity (DLCO), respiratory muscle strength testing, and six-minute walk tests. Additional tools like pulse oximetry, Bronchoprovocation, and peak flow measurement further enhance the evaluation of airway, gas exchange, and exercise tolerance.

Imaging & Structural Diagnostics

Our imaging facilities include High-Resolution CT Scans and Chest X-rays for detailed evaluation of lung structures, detecting infections, tumors, interstitial conditions, and more. We also offer chest ultrasound for pleural assessments.

Advanced Endoscopic Procedures

We utilize state-of-the-art interventional tools, including flexible and rigid bronchoscopy, Endobronchial Ultrasound (EBUS)—both convex and radial probes—for precise visualization and real-time, image-guided lung and mediastinal tissue sampling.

Pleural and Thoracic Interventions

Diagnostic and therapeutic procedures such as thoracoscopy, pleuroscopy (medical thoracoscopy), pleural fluid aspiration, pleurodesis, and transbronchial lung/needle biopsies (TBLB/TBNA) are available to effectively evaluate and manage pleural and lung tissue issues.

Sleep and Exercise Testing

Our department includes comprehensive diagnostic capabilities for sleep and exercise-related pulmonary assessment:
• Polysomnography (Sleep Study) for evaluation of sleep-disordered breathing.
• Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing (CPET) to measure cardiopulmonary fitness and respiratory response during exercise.

Supportive & Emerging Diagnostics

Additional advanced tools enhance the precision of respiratory diagnosis:
• Pulse Oximetry and FeNO testing to evaluate oxygenation and airway inflammation.
• Peak Flow Meters for home-based asthma monitoring, and blood or skin allergy testing to identify triggers in asthma or allergy scenarios.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about our pulmonology services.

What symptoms should prompt me to see a pulmonologist?

You should consider seeing a pulmonologist if you experience difficulty breathing, persistent cough, chest discomfort, wheezing, shortness of breath after a cold or fever, or extreme fatigue. If you have a history of asthma, COPD, lung infections, or if you are a smoker, regular respiratory check-ups are important.

How often should I have my lungs or respiratory system checked?

For healthy individuals with no symptoms, a preventive check-up every 4-6 years is generally recommended. If you have asthma, COPD, other respiratory conditions, or a history of smoking, your doctor may advise more frequent monitoring.

What is the difference between a pulmonologist and a thoracic surgeon?

Pulmonologists specialize in diagnosing and treating lung and respiratory diseases with medications and non-surgical methods. Thoracic surgeons perform surgeries such as lung resections, lobectomies, and treatment of complex pleural diseases.

What pulmonary or respiratory tests might I need?

Common tests include pulmonary function tests (PFTs), bronchoscopy, chest X-rays, CT scans, sleep studies (for sleep apnea), and blood gas analysis. The specific tests recommended depend on your symptoms and your doctor’s evaluation.

Does your hospital offer emergency pulmonology care?

Yes, our hospital provides 24/7 emergency respiratory care for severe asthma attacks, respiratory failure, pulmonary embolism, and other acute conditions. We have specialized pulmonologists and advanced technology for rapid diagnosis and treatment in our dedicated emergency unit.
