The Centre of Pulmonology and Sleep Medicine with the whole spectrum of Respiratory diseases that involve the Lungs, Airways, Mediastinum, Pleura, Diaphragm and the Chest Wall. We also deal with disorders that affect the breathing indirectly like Neuromuscular Disorders and Sleep Disorders.
The prevalence of Respiratory Diseases is increasing worldwide and particularly in Delhi due to pollution, growing urbanisation and smoking because of which, various diseases like: Asthma, COPD, Bronchiectasis, Tuberculosis, Sarcoidosis, Pneumonias, Chest Traumas, Pneumothorax, Pleural Effusions, Mediastinal Lymphadenopathy, Lung Cancer, Sleep Disorders, Allergies and Respiratory Failure are frequently encountered these days and need specialist management.
The Centre is well equipped with advanced Pulmonary Function Testing Lab, Video Bronchoscopy and Thoracoscopy. We also possess the state-of-the-art, Endobronchial Ultrasound (EBUS) System with both Linear and Radial probes to perform real time and safe procedures. We also take pride in our skilled team to perform Allergy Testing and its treatment.
Another highlight of the centre is the fully Equipped Advanced Sleep Study Lab (Polysomnography) to perform Overnight Studies, Split Studies, Titration Studies and Multiple Sleep Latency Testing.
Interventional Bronchoscopy along with Endobronchial Ultrasound (EBUS)
is the state-of-the-art Technology for both Diagnostic and therapeutic Management of Airway and Parenchymal Lung Disorder in the 21st Century
Venkateshwar Hospital in Sector 18, Dwarka, New Delhi, has a dedicated Centre of Pulmonology & Sleep Medicine for respiratory and sleep-related conditions. The centre manages conditions affecting the lungs, airways and respiratory system, along with selected sleep and breathing disorders.
The Centre of Pulmonology & Sleep Medicine manages respiratory conditions including asthma, COPD, bronchiectasis, tuberculosis, pneumonia, pneumothorax, pleural effusion, sarcoidosis, allergies and respiratory failure. It also evaluates sleep and breathing-related disorders. Lung cancer is an increasing threat, and screening can detect it early.
You may consider consulting a pulmonologist for persistent cough, recurring breathing difficulty, wheezing, unexplained shortness of breath or other ongoing respiratory symptoms. People with diagnosed lung conditions may also require specialist respiratory care.
Yes. Asthma is among the respiratory conditions managed by the Centre of Pulmonology & Sleep Medicine at Venkateshwar Hospital. Evaluation may include clinical assessment and pulmonary function testing, with management determined according to the patient's condition.
Yes. Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is among the lung conditions managed at Venkateshwar Hospital. Depending on the patient's condition, care may involve respiratory assessment, pulmonary function testing, appropriate medical management and pulmonary rehabilitation.
Asthma and COPD can both affect airflow and cause symptoms such as breathlessness and wheezing, but they differ in their underlying mechanisms and clinical patterns. A pulmonologist may use medical history, examination and lung-function testing to help distinguish between them.
A Pulmonary Function Test evaluates how well the lungs are working. It can provide information about airflow and other aspects of lung function and may be used in the assessment and monitoring of respiratory conditions such as asthma and COPD.
Bronchoscopy is a procedure that allows a specialist to examine the airways using a thin flexible instrument with a camera. It may be used to investigate respiratory problems, obtain samples or perform selected therapeutic procedures depending on the patient's condition.
Endobronchial Ultrasound (EBUS) combines bronchoscopy with ultrasound to help specialists visualise structures around the airways and obtain samples from selected areas. It can be useful in evaluating mediastinal lymph nodes and certain lung and airway conditions. It is used to diagnose node TB/ LN cancer and lung cancer.
Bronchoscopy allows a pulmonologist to directly examine the inside of the airways, while EBUS adds ultrasound imaging to evaluate structures and lymph nodes around the airways. EBUS can also help guide tissue sampling from selected areas.
A sleep study, or polysomnography, records different body functions during sleep to help evaluate sleep-related disorders. It may be recommended when a doctor suspects a condition affecting sleep or breathing during sleep.
Yes. Venkateshwar Hospital has an Advanced Sleep Study Lab for polysomnography. The centre provides overnight sleep studies, split studies, titration studies and Multiple Sleep Latency Testing (MSLT).
We remove foreign bodies from the air passage, debulk tumours, put airway stents, perform cryotherapy and many other advanced specialised procedures.
