Advanced Diagnostics. Minimally Invasive Precision.

Interventional Pulmonology is a specialized field of medicine that focuses on using minimally invasive tools to diagnose and treat diseases of the lungs and chest. At Pulm-O-Care, we utilize cutting-edge technology to provide answers for complex respiratory issues without the need for major surgery.

Under the expert hands of Dr. Abhinav Sharma, our interventional procedures offer faster recovery times, less discomfort, and highly accurate results.

Key Procedures

1. Bronchoscopy

A bronchoscopy is a procedure that allows Dr. Sharma to look directly into your lungs and air passages. A thin, flexible tube (bronchoscope) with a light and camera is passed through your nose or mouth into the lungs.

• When is it needed? To investigate persistent coughs, unexplained infections, or abnormalities seen on an X-ray or CT scan.

• What to expect: The procedure is typically done under sedation, meaning you will be relaxed and comfortable throughout.

2. EBUS (Endobronchial Ultrasound)

EBUS is one of the most advanced diagnostic techniques in pulmonary medicine. It combines bronchoscopy with ultrasound to see beyond the walls of the airway.

• Why choose EBUS? It allows for the sampling (biopsy) of lymph nodes and tumors in the chest without making a single external incision.

• Benefits: It is an outpatient procedure that provides immediate, high-accuracy staging for lung cancer and diagnosis for conditions like Sarcoidosis or Tuberculosis.

3. Medical Thoracoscopy

For patients with unexplained fluid around the lungs (Pleural Effusion), Dr. Sharma performs medical thoracoscopy. This allows for direct visualization of the pleural space and precise biopsies, often solving cases that traditional fluid testing cannot.
