Treatment and Procedure
Bronchoscopy is a medical procedure that allows doctors to examine the inside of the lungs, including the bronchi, the main pathways into the lungs. This procedure is performed using a bronchoscope, a thin, flexible tube equipped with a light and camera. It helps to examine symptoms such as a persistent cough, infection, or abnormal chest X-ray results. Biopsy is done to collect tissue samples for testing, especially when lung cancer is suspected. Treatment involves the removal of blockages, such as a foreign body or mucus, from the airways. It is Performed under local anesthesia with sedation, or general anesthesia. The bronchoscope is inserted through the nose or mouth and guided down the throat into the lungs. After the procedure, patients may experience a sore throat, cough, or hoarseness.
Tuberculosis (TB) is a contagious bacterial infection caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It affects the lungs but can spread to other parts of the body. Symptoms are: Persistent cough lasting more than three weeks Chest pain Coughing up blood Fatigue Fever and night sweats weight loss Treated with a course of antibiotics taken for 6 to 9 months.

Pneumonia is an infection that inflames the air sacs in one or both lungs, which may fill with fluid or pus. Caused by - Bacterial infections (e.g., Streptococcus pneumoniae) - Viral infections (e.g., influenza, COVID-19) - Fungal infections Symptoms are: - Chest pain - Cough with phlegm - Fever, sweating, and chills - Shortness of breath - Fatigue Treated with antibiotics (for bacterial pneumonia), antiviral drugs, or antifungal medications. - Supportive care includes rest, fluids, and over-the-counter medications to manage symptoms.

It can be managed by: Quitting smoking Medications like Bronchodilators, inhaled steroids, and antibiotics for infections. Pulmonary rehabilitation Oxygen therapy We do Pulmonary Function Test (PFT) that measures how well the lungs are working. They assess lung volume, capacity, rates of flow, and gas exchange. Types of PFTs: Spirometry: Measures the amount (volume) and speed (flow) of air that can be inhaled and exhaled. Lung Volume Measurement: Assesses the amount of air in the lungs after a deep inhalation. Diffusion Capacity Test: Evaluates how well oxygen and other gases pass from the lungs into the blood. Used to diagnose respiratory conditions such as asthma, COPD, and other lung diseases effectively.

Frequently Asked Questions Answered
Oh, quite a lot! We see everything from common stuff like asthma, COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease), and bronchitis to more serious conditions. Think pneumonia, tuberculosis, lung infections, interstitial lung diseases, pleural effusions (fluid around lungs), and sleep disorders like sleep apnea. If it affects your breathing or lungs, we're here for it.
We use a bunch of ways! We start with understanding your symptoms, then might do a Pulmonary Function Test (PFT) to measure your lung capacity. We also use imaging like chest X-rays and CT scans. Sometimes, we might need a bronchoscopy to look directly inside your airways or a sleep study if we suspect a sleep disorder. It's all about getting a clear picture.
