Pulmonology
About Aarvy’s Pulmonology Department
The Department of Pulmonology and Respiratory Medicine at Aarvy Healthcare offers complete diagnostic, therapeutic, and preventive care for lung and respiratory disorders. Our team includes highly qualified pulmonologists, intensivists, respiratory therapists, and nurses trained in managing both acute and chronic lung conditions.
We provide comprehensive inpatient, outpatient, and ICU-based services for patients requiring oxygen support, ventilation, or specialized lung care.
Our department works closely with Cardiology, Critical Care, Oncology, and Internal Medicine to deliver a multidisciplinary approach — because respiratory problems often overlap with other systemic conditions.
Breathe Easy with Expert Pulmonary Care
Your lungs are the gateway to life — every breath fuels your body, energy, and vitality. At Aarvy Healthcare, our Pulmonology Department provides advanced, evidence-based care for all types of respiratory and chest-related conditions.
From common ailments like asthma and bronchitis to complex diseases such as COPD, interstitial lung disease, and lung cancer, our specialists are dedicated to helping patients breathe easier and live healthier lives.
Our department combines clinical excellence, advanced technology, and a compassionate environment, ensuring that every patient receives holistic care — focused not only on treatment but also on long-term respiratory wellness.
Conditions We Treat
Our specialists manage a broad range of pulmonary and respiratory diseases, including but not limited to:
- Asthma & Allergic Bronchitis
A chronic inflammatory condition of the airways that causes breathing difficulty, wheezing, and coughing. Our team provides:
- Accurate diagnosis through spirometry and allergy testing
- Personalized inhalation therapy
- Long-term trigger control programs
- Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
A progressive disease caused primarily by smoking or air pollution. We help patients manage symptoms and improve lung function through:
- Medication and inhalers
- Pulmonary rehabilitation
- Lifestyle modification and smoking cessation support
- Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD)
ILD involves scarring (fibrosis) of the lungs leading to stiffness and breathing issues. Aarvy’s experts provide early diagnosis using HRCT and lung function tests, combined with targeted antifibrotic therapy.
- Tuberculosis (TB) and Drug-Resistant TB
We offer comprehensive TB care under standard protocols, including drug-resistance testing, DOTS therapy, and long-term follow-up.
- Pneumonia and Acute Respiratory Infections
Timely treatment with antibiotics, oxygen therapy, and ICU support for severe pneumonia or ARDS (Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome).
- Lung Cancer and Tumor Management
Our pulmonology team collaborates with oncologists and thoracic surgeons for early detection and interventional procedures like bronchoscopy-guided biopsy.
- Sleep Apnea and Snoring Disorders
We diagnose sleep-related breathing problems through sleep studies (polysomnography) and offer CPAP/BiPAP therapy for effective management.
- Occupational and Environmental Lung Diseases
Exposure to dust, chemicals, or pollutants can cause chronic breathing issues. We specialize in the evaluation and prevention of such occupational diseases.
- Pulmonary Hypertension
Our team provides advanced diagnostic tests like Echocardiography and Right Heart Catheterization, along with long-term therapy to manage pulmonary artery pressure.
- Post-COVID Lung Disorders
Post-COVID fibrosis and breathlessness are managed through rehabilitation, medications, and oxygen therapy, helping patients regain strength and normal breathing.
Common Symptoms that Need Pulmonary Consultation
If you experience any of the following, it’s time to consult Aarvy’s Pulmonology Department:
- Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
- Chronic cough (lasting more than 3 weeks)
- Wheezing or whistling sounds while breathing
- Chest tightness or pain
- Recurrent respiratory infections
- Coughing up blood (Hemoptysis)
- Sleep disturbances due to breathing
- Unexplained fatigue or low oxygen levels
Causes and Risk Factors for Respiratory Diseases
Several environmental and lifestyle factors contribute to lung conditions:
- Smoking and tobacco use
- Air pollution and exposure to industrial dust
- Allergens like pollen, pet dander, or mold
- Chronic infections (bacterial or viral)
- Occupational exposure to chemicals
- Genetic predisposition
- Weak immunity or pre-existing conditions like diabetes
Aarvy Healthcare focuses on early detection and prevention by helping patients recognize and eliminate these risk factors through counseling and education.

- Bronchoscopy – A minimally invasive test to visualize and biopsy airway passages.
- Polysomnography (Sleep Study) – For diagnosing sleep apnea and related disorders.
- Allergy Testing – Identifies triggers causing respiratory inflammation.
- Arterial Blood Gas (ABG) Analysis – Measures oxygen and carbon dioxide levels in the blood.
- Chest X-Ray & Ultrasound – For routine and emergency evaluation of lung pathology.

- Interventional Pulmonology
We perform minimally invasive procedures such as:
- Bronchoscopy for airway clearance and biopsies
- Pleural Tapping and Drainage for pleural effusions
- Endobronchial Ultrasound (EBUS) for cancer staging and diagnosis

- Pulmonary Rehabilitation
A structured program involving exercise, breathing training, and physiotherapy to enhance lung efficiency and endurance.
