Pulmonology is the internal medicine branch that deals with medical conditions related to the respiratory system. This includes the nose, mouth, sinuses, throat, lungs, windpipe, bronchial tubes, bronchioles, alveoli, and diaphragm. Doctors specializing in diagnosing and treating respiratory system-related diseases are pulmonologists, chest doctors, or lung specialists.
The highly experienced pulmonologists at Patiala Heart Institute provide extensive treatment for various medical conditions under one roof, including:
- Asthma : A respiratory disease that inflames and narrows the airways, resulting in breathing difficulties
- Tuberculosis: A contagious bacterial infection of the lungs
- Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease : A group of chronic lung diseases that blocks airflow
- Emphysema : A lung disease in which alveoli or air sacs in the lungs are damaged
- Pneumonia : A lung infection that inflames the alveoli and fills them with fluid or pus.
- Pulmonary Hypertension : A condition with high blood pressure in the arteries of the lungs
- Cystic Fibrosis : An inherited respiratory disorder that causes chronic lung damage
- Obstructive Sleep Apnea : A sleep-related breathing disorder that causes repeated pausing of breath during sleep.
- Interstitial lung disease disease: A group of respiratory disorders that causes progressive scarring and stiffening of the lung tissues.
- Lung cancer : A type of cancer that develops in the lungs.
- Bronchitis : An inflammation of bronchial tubes that carry air to and from the lungs.
- Bronchiectasis : A respiratory disease that causes the widening or enlargement of parts of the airways of the lungs.
The lung specialists at Patiala Heart Institute use advanced diagnostic solutions to diagnose various respiratory and thoracic conditions and create an extensive treatment plan that will include therapies, medications, and a pulmonary rehabilitation program.

- CT Scan : A CT Scan of the chest provides more detailed imaging of the chest than an X-Ray
- Bronchoscopy : A thin, flexible tube with a camera at the end is inserted into the windpipe through the nose to identify problems with the larynx, pharynx, trachea, or bronchial tubes.
- Thoracentesis : A sample of fluid is obtained from the lungs for testing.
- Spirometry : Testing the ability of the lungs to inhale and exhale air efficiently
- Chest Ultrasound : An ultrasound of the chest helps determine the conditions of the lungs and other organs in the chest.
