We at Heritage Hospitals have years of experience and skill in giving patients with pulmonary conditions quality, outcome-driven care. Read on to know more about the scope of our Pulmonary services and why we should be your first choice when it comes to comprehensive Lung care.
Pulmonary Tuberculosis is a contagious disease caused by bacteria. It infects the lungs and may spread to other parts of the human body. This disease can also spread to another person from an infected one. The bacteria Mycobacterium tuberculosis causes pulmonary Tuberculosis.
Bronchial Asthma is a disease in which your airways get blocked due to excess mucus causing difficulty in breathing. Asthma can be treated through medicines and inhalers.
Pneumonia can be caused by various micro-organisms like fungi, bacteria, etc. It causes fever and swelling of air sacs in the lungs. The air sacs get filled with excess mucus, making you feel pukish.
Upper Respiratory infection affect the upper part of your respiratory system, which include your throat and sinuses. These infections are seasonal and are identified by a running nose, cough, and sore throat.
COPD or Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease is an inflammatory disease in which your airways are blocked, obstructing the smooth passing of air. A cough, mucus production, wheezing, and breathing issues primarily identify it.
Interstitial Lung Disease is a collective term used for several lung diseases that cause lung fibrosis and block the oxygen leading to the bloodstream. IDL causes immense lung damage, which is irreversible and gets worse with time.
Pleural Effusion is a condition in which the chest cavity gets filled with excessive fluid. Pleural Effusion can be transudative ( caused due to increased pressure in blood vessels) and Exudative ( caused due to blocked blood vessels). Smoking and drinking are some common causes of Pleural Effusion.
RTIs are common infections that harm your throat, airways, sinuses, and lungs. RTIs get better without treatment, but sometimes you must consult a Pulmonologist.
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a condition that affects people of all ages, races, and ethnicities. Despite the fact that anybody can be diagnosed with PH, some persons are at more risk than others. A few of these Risk factors include the following-
Gender
Pregnancy
Family History
Altitude
Drugs and Toxins
Obesity and Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Other Lung Diseases
One of the numerous actions you may take to lower your risk of lung disease is to avoid specific exposures. Prevention measures comprise:
Avoiding smoking or never starting.
Avoiding being around someone who is smoking.
Run a radon test. Lung illness can result from radon exposure at high levels. Most hardware stores sell test kits, and you may learn more about radon by visiting the Environmental Protection Agency's website.
Stay away from asbestos exposure. Workers who handle insulation and other asbestos-containing materials run the danger of exposure, as do technicians who work on brakes and clutches in automobiles.
Adopt a balanced diet. A diet that is high in fruits and vegetables has been found in studies to help avoid lung disease.
Avoid breathing in dust or odours.
Find out from your doctor if you can get immunisations against the flu, pneumonia, and other illnesses that might cause lung disease.
Get a Spirometry Test Done.
Our lung care professionals provide PFT testing to help you completely understand your risk factors and get personalised coaching to help you achieve your lung care goals.

To learn more about a certain pulmonary diagnostic tool and to make appointments based on your needs, Select a specific facility-
Pulmonary Function Tests are often done to check the functionality of the lungs. These tests are non-invasive and measure lung capacity, lung volume, rates of flow, and exchange of gases. Pulmonary Function Tests can be done with two different methods. They are Spirometry and Plethysmography. These two methods may also be combined to gather information as per the need of your Pulmonologists.
In the Spirometry Pulmonary Function test, we use a device with a mouthpiece hooked to an electronic device.
In the Plethysmography Pulmonary Function test, the person stands on a square-looking air-tight box to complete the tests.
The data collected through PFTs include
Tidal Volume
Minute Volume
Residual Volume
Tidal capacity
Total lung capacity
There are various reasons why your Pulmonologists advise you for a Pulmonary Function Test. Some of these reasons are Allergies, Respiratory infections, Asbestosis, etc. Your healthcare provider may also suggest a PFT test for your routine check-up.
Heritage Hospitals should be your best choice if you or someone close has been advised for a PFT test. Our excellent results and advanced care help doctors to design better treatment plans.
Bronchoscopy test allows the doctor to look at your lungs and air passage to identify lung diseases and infections caused by bacteria, viruses, etc. In the Bronchoscopy test, a flexible bronchoscope is passed through your nose/mouth, throat and lungs d to perform the test. However, in specific scenarios, a rigid bronchoscope is used if a large object is stuck in your air passage or has profuse bleeding in your lungs.
Some common reasons your Pulmonologists suggest a Bronchoscopy test include:
Infection,
Persistent cough
Something unusual was seen during a chest X-Ray.
There are no specific risks in Bronchoscopy tests; however, some complications include Fever, Collapsed lungs, or bleeding.
Bronchoscopy test is a minimally invasive procedure that needs Anaesthesia to be performed. You are monitored after the process and aren’t allowed to eat until the numbness in your throat disappears. After the Bronchoscopy test, your doctor might put you on a strict diet. It may also happen that tissues for biopsy are taken during the Bronchoscopy test; those results might take longer because of specimen separation.
Heritage Hospitals should be your best choice if you or someone close has been advised for a Bronchoscopy test. With our advanced care and latest critical facilities, we aim to provide better results.
An allergy test is an outpatient skin pricking test to identify various allergens' sensitivity. It shows how one’s lungs respond to specific allergens. An allergy test is a simple, safe, non-invasive and quick result-giving test that helps you manage your heart conditions and avoid triggers.
In an Allergy test, your skin is pricked, and a small amount of allergen is put under the surface to see the body's response to that allergen. There is no specific age group on which this test is carried out. It can be performed for all age groups and is carried out on the inner forearm.
The three most common types of Skin allergy care tests include:
Skin prick testing
Intradermal skin testing
Patch testing.
During the test, certain things in your body include more acid production in the stomach, stimulation of nerve endings, widening of blood vessels, etc. Skin prick tests may cause mild discomfort to the patient. If he is allergic to the substance, he may have symptoms like mild fever, runny nose, rashes, etc.
Heritage Hospitals should be your best choice if you or someone close has been advised to get Allergy tests done. With our specialists who have years of experience and our latest critical care facilities, we strive to provide the best outcomes.
Polysomnography is a sleep test conducted to diagnose sleep disorders. In Polysomnography, pulmonologists record:
Brain waves
The oxygen level in your blood
Heart rate
Breathing
Eye and leg movements during sleep
Sleep studies are done at sleep centres or a sleep disorder unit within a hospital. The most appropriate time for this test is at night; however, it is also done during the day for those with night shifts at work. If you are already diagnosed with a sleeping disorder, polysomnography helps determine the patient's treatment plan. A sleep study can also be done at home using different devices. Home sleep apnea test records your breathing and airflow. Some styles also record information on blood vessels.
Polysomnography/PSP test is done to identify when and why your sleep gets disrupted. One typically goes through multiple sleep cycles, and sleep disorders disrupt these cycles and sleep.
Our Pulmonologists recommend a PSP test when you are diagnosed with
Sleep apnea
Narcolepsy
Unusual behaviour during sleep
Polysomnography is a non-invasive, painless test; skin irritation is the only side effect caused due to the test sensors attached to your skin.
Heritage Hospitals should be your best choice if you or someone close has been advised for a Polysomnography test. With our excellent results, advanced care and critical care facilities, we strive to provide better results.
