Pulmonology services include consultation, bronchoscopy, pulmonary function tests, sleep studies, smoking cessation support, and coordinated care with ICU, Emergency Medicine, Internal Medicine, and other hospital teams where required.

Our goal is to provide evidence-based, patient-friendly, and coordinated respiratory care with a focus on timely diagnosis, appropriate treatment, prevention, and long-term lung health.

Our Pulmonology Services

Pulmonology Consultation

A pulmonology consultation helps evaluate symptoms related to breathing, lungs, airways, and sleep-related respiratory concerns.

During consultation, the pulmonologist may review:

  • Symptoms and duration
  • Cough pattern
  • Breathing difficulty
  • Wheezing or chest discomfort
  • History of asthma, COPD, or lung disease
  • Smoking history
  • Exposure to dust, pollution, or occupational irritants
  • Previous reports or imaging
  • Current medicines and inhaler use
  • Need for pulmonary function tests, sleep study, bronchoscopy, or further evaluation

The aim is to understand the cause of symptoms and create an appropriate treatment and follow-up plan.

Asthma Care

Asthma can cause breathing difficulty, wheezing, cough, and chest tightness.

Our Pulmonology team supports patients with:

  • Diagnosis and monitoring
  • Inhaler guidance
  • Trigger identification
  • Symptom control planning
  • Follow-up care
  • Emergency warning sign awareness

The focus is on helping patients manage symptoms better and reduce the risk of worsening episodes.

COPD and Smoking-Related Lung Disease Care

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is commonly linked with long-term smoking or exposure to pollutants.

Care may include:

  • Symptom evaluation
  • Pulmonary function testing
  • Inhaler and medication review
  • Lifestyle guidance
  • Smoking cessation support
  • Monitoring of breathing capacity
  • Prevention of flare-ups
  • Interstitial Lung Disease and Pulmonary Hypertension Support

Some lung conditions require careful evaluation, monitoring, and long-term management.

Our team supports patients with conditions such as:

  • Interstitial lung disease
  • Pulmonary hypertension
  • Chronic breathlessness
  • Reduced exercise tolerance
  • Complex respiratory symptoms

Care is planned based on clinical assessment, reports, and coordination with other specialties where required.

Bronchoscopy

Bronchoscopy is a procedure used to examine the airways and lungs.

It may be advised when the doctor needs to evaluate the airways more closely, depending on the patient’s symptoms, reports, and clinical condition.

The need for bronchoscopy is decided after consultation and appropriate assessment.

Pulmonary Function Tests

Pulmonary function tests help assess lung function and breathing capacity.

They may be advised for patients with:

  • Asthma
  • COPD
  • Breathlessness
  • Wheezing
  • Chronic cough
  • Suspected lung function impairment
  • Follow-up of known respiratory disease

These tests help guide diagnosis, treatment planning, and monitoring.

Sleep Studies

Sleep studies are diagnostic tests used to evaluate sleep-related breathing disorders.

They may be advised for symptoms such as:

  • Loud snoring
  • Pauses in breathing during sleep
  • Excessive daytime sleepiness
  • Morning headaches
  • Poor sleep quality
  • Suspected sleep apnea

A sleep study helps identify sleep-related breathing concerns and guide further care.

Smoking Cessation Support

Quitting smoking is one of the most important steps for protecting lung health.

Our smoking cessation support may include:

  • Counselling
  • Risk assessment
  • Motivation and behaviour support
  • Medical guidance where appropriate
  • Follow-up support

The goal is to help patients reduce smoking-related lung damage and improve long-term respiratory health.

Coordinated Care with Other Specialties

Respiratory conditions may sometimes require urgent or multidisciplinary care, especially when symptoms are severe or linked with other medical conditions.

Our Pulmonology services work closely with:

  • ICU and Critical Care
  • Emergency Medicine
  • Internal Medicine
  • Cardiology
  • Neurology
  • Nephrology
  • Radiology and diagnostics
  • Nutrition and rehabilitation teams, where required

This coordinated approach helps patients receive comprehensive care in both outpatient and inpatient settings.

When Should You Consult a Pulmonologist?

You should consider consulting a pulmonologist if you experience:

  • Persistent cough
  • Difficulty breathing
  • Shortness of breath
  • Wheezing
  • Recurrent chest infections
  • Chest discomfort with breathing symptoms
