PULMONOLOGY
At Pinnacle Hospitals, our Pulmonology Department offers advanced, personalised care for all respiratory conditions, using state-of-the-art technology and expert teams to improve lung health, outcomes, and quality of life.
Our Spectrum of Pulmonology Subspecialties
Our Pulmonology Department offers specialised, evidence-based care across all respiratory subspecialties, led by expert pulmonologists and supported by advanced technology.
- Allergy and Asthma:
We specialise in the diagnosis and long-term management of respiratory allergies, asthma, and hypersensitivity-related conditions. Using advanced pulmonary function testing, personalised medication plans, and immunotherapy, we help patients control symptoms, prevent flare-ups, and improve their overall quality of life. - Interventional Pulmonology:
Our interventional pulmonology team performs minimally invasive procedures—such as bronchoscopy, EBUS (Endobronchial Ultrasound), airway stenting, and thoracentesis—for accurate diagnosis and treatment of complex lung and airway disorders. These advanced techniques reduce the need for open surgery, allowing for quicker recovery and more targeted care. - Pulmonary Rehabilitation:
Designed for patients with chronic lung conditions such as COPD, interstitial lung disease, or post-COVID complications, our structured pulmonary rehabilitation programmes include supervised exercise, breathing techniques, nutritional counselling, and education. This comprehensive approach aims to restore functional capacity, reduce hospitalisation, and improve independence in daily activities. - Sleep Medicine:
We provide specialised evaluation and treatment for sleep-related breathing disorders like obstructive sleep apnoea, insomnia, and restless leg syndrome. With the support of advanced sleep studies—both in-lab and at home—our team develops tailored treatment plans, including CPAP therapy and lifestyle modifications, to restore healthy sleep and prevent long-term complications. - Thoracic Oncology:
Our thoracic oncology services focus on the diagnosis, staging, and management of lung cancer and mediastinal tumours. Using EBUS-guided biopsies, advanced imaging, and a multidisciplinary approach involving oncology, radiology, and thoracic surgery teams, we ensure precise diagnosis and timely, individualised treatment planning for optimal patient outcomes.
Precision Diagnosis with EBUS Technology
At Pinnacle Hospitals, our Pulmonology Department uses Endobronchial Ultrasound (EBUS), a minimally invasive tool that combines bronchoscopy with real-time ultrasound to accurately diagnose and stage lung and mediastinal diseases, including lung cancer. EBUS enables guided biopsies, quicker diagnosis, precise staging, and timely treatment planning while reducing surgical risks, recovery time, and discomfort – reflecting our commitment to patient safety, clinical precision, and superior outcomes.
Why EBUS Matters: Key Benefits
- Minimally Invasive Approach:
EBUS avoids surgical incisions by using a flexible bronchoscope with an ultrasound probe, resulting in reduced pain, quicker recovery, and fewer complications compared to traditional diagnostic surgeries. - Accurate Visualisation:
High-resolution, real-time imaging enables precise localisation of abnormal lung tissues and lymph nodes, improving diagnostic confidence and accuracy. - Crucial for Lung Cancer Staging:
EBUS plays a vital role in assessing whether lung cancer has spread to mediastinal lymph nodes, helping determine the stage of cancer and guide treatment decisions. - Real-time Guided Biopsy:
EBUS facilitates targeted tissue sampling from abnormal areas, increasing diagnostic yield and reducing the need for additional invasive procedures. - Comprehensive Mediastinal Assessment:
It allows detailed evaluation of mediastinal lymph nodes and structures that cannot be accessed via standard bronchoscopy, aiding in the diagnosis of complex thoracic conditions. - Reduced Surgical Dependence:
In many cases, EBUS replaces the need for more invasive surgical procedures like mediastinoscopy, offering a safer, less traumatic diagnostic pathway for patients.
