    State-of-the-Art Diagnostics and Facilities at Apollo Hospitals

    1. Cryobiopsy
    2. Cryobiopsy is a minimally invasive procedure that uses a cryoprobe to obtain lung tissue samples. This method allows for the precise diagnosis of diffuse parenchymal lung diseases with reduced discomfort for the patient
    3. Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS) Lung Biopsy
    4. VATS lung biopsy is a minimally invasive technique used to remove lung tissue samples. It provides accurate results with shorter recovery times and is often employed to diagnose lung cancer and pleural mesothelioma. This technique is also used in lung surgeries, such as those to treat lung cancer and for lung volume reduction surgery.
    5. Spirometry with DLCO and Impulse Oscillometry
      Spirometry, combined with DLCO (Diffusing Capacity of the Lung for Carbon Monoxide) and impulse oscillometry, measures lung function and helps diagnose various respiratory conditions.
    6. Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing
      Cardiopulmonary exercise testing evaluates heart and lung function during physical activity, providing valuable insights into respiratory health and exercise capacity.
    7. Right Heart Catheterization
      Right heart catheterization measures pressure and oxygen levels in the heart and lungs, aiding in diagnosing pulmonary hypertension and other heart-related conditions.
    8. Ventilation-Perfusion Scan
      A ventilation-perfusion scan assesses airflow and blood flow in the lungs, helping diagnose pulmonary embolism and other lung disorders.
    9. Genetic Testing and Screening
      Genetic testing identifies mutations related to cystic fibrosis and other genetic lung conditions, enabling early diagnosis and personalised treatment plans.
    10. Comprehensive Autoimmune Workup for Interstitial Lung Diseases (ILDs)
      A comprehensive autoimmune workup includes tests to detect autoimmune disorders causing interstitial lung diseases, facilitating accurate diagnosis and effective treatment.
    • Comprehensive Autoimmune Workup for Interstitial Lung Diseases (ILDs)

    FAQ's

    To enhance your respiratory well-being, engage in regular exercise, practice deep breathing exercises, follow a nutritious diet, maintain a healthy weight, and, if you smoke, take steps to quit.

    ECMO (Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation) is a specialized life support system available in advanced ICUs. It acts as your heart and lungs by supporting your failing lungs and circulating blood through the machine. ECMO removes carbon dioxide and adds oxygen, mimicking the natural functions of these organs.

    A lung transplant is a surgical procedure that replaces a diseased or failing lung with a healthy lung, typically from a deceased donor. It is considered for individuals with conditions such as interstitial lung disease (ILD), advanced chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), cystic fibrosis (CF), and emphysema when all other treatment options have been exhausted.
