Pulmonary Medicine at Medanta was established with a mission to offer effective respiratory care, especially for individuals with chronic respiratory diseases requiring continuous treatment to maintain a normal daily routine. As well as to manage acute respiratory problems we provide evidence based clinical care at our IPD, HDU and ICU. A modern interventional pulmonary lab, facilitating intricate airway procedures and providing specialized facilities for comprehensive diagnostic and therapeutic care. Our division is well-prepared to address respiratory ailments at all stages of disease including preparation for lung transplant surgery. This comprehensive approach reflects our dedication to offering advanced and holistic respiratory care.
Intercostal drainage, diagnostic and therapeutic bronchoscopy, endobronchial ultrasound-guided biopsy, tracheal stenting, foreign body removal from the airway, bronco-pleural fistula management, and thoracoscopy are essential procedures utilized in the diagnosis and treatment of various respiratory conditions.
High flow oxygen therapy, non-invasive mechanical ventilation, advanced ventilator support, bronco-pleural fistula management, and veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) are critical modalities in the comprehensive management of respiratory failure.
We excel in the management of chronic respiratory disorders such as asthma, COPD, ILD, vasculitis, `and` sarcoidosis, along with acute respiratory disorders including asthma exacerbations, allergies, infections, and hemoptysis, as well as chronic respiratory infections like tuberculosis and pulmonary fungal infections, requires comprehensive care, alongside the management of cardio-pulmonary diseases such as pulmonary hypertension and pulmonary edema, hepato-pulmonary diseases including hepato-pulmonary syndrome, hepatic-hydrothorax, and porto-pulmonary hypertension, pleural disorders such as pleural effusion, pneumothorax, and empyema thoracic, and preparation for lung transplantation.
COPD encompasses conditions like chronic bronchitis and emphysema. It results in persistent breathing difficulties. Smoking cessation and medications are vital for symptom management.
ILDs are a group of lung diseases that affect the interstitium (tissues and space around the air sacs of the lungs) and may cause scarring of the lung tissues. This may lead to difficulty in breathing.
Pneumonias are lung infections often caused by bacteria or viruses, leading to symptoms like fever, cough, and chest pain. Antibiotics and supportive care are used for treatment.
Your body has its own mechanisms to fight incoming infections and clear particles from the air we breathe. Sometimes, these systems over-react to an allergen and this causes allergic asthma. This reaction is what causes the common symptoms of allergic asthma. Allergens like pollen, dust, and mold spores may trigger reactions in some people that set off asthma attacks. In these people, the body assumes the allergen is a threat. It releases a type of immunity protein called Immunoglobulin E (IgE).
