Pulmonology
Pulmonology
At Vibrant Hospital, our Pulmonology Department is dedicated to the diagnosis, treatment, and management of lung and respiratory diseases. Located on Dwarka Expressway, we provide high-quality respiratory care to patients across Gurgaon, Delhi NCR, and surrounding areas.
📝 Overview
Our team of expert pulmonologists specializes in managing a wide range of conditions, from asthma and COPD to complex cases of interstitial lung disease, sleep disorders, and lung infections. Using state-of-the-art diagnostic tools and evidence-based treatments, we aim to improve breathing, reduce complications, and enhance the quality of life for our patients.
At Vibrant Hospital, we offer 24x7 emergency respiratory care, including ventilator support and management of severe respiratory distress. Our pulmonology team works in close collaboration with critical care, cardiology, oncology, and infectious disease specialists to provide comprehensive care, especially for patients with co-existing conditions.
We also focus on preventive care, offering smoking cessation programs, lung health check-ups, and vaccination advice to help prevent respiratory diseases.
Advanced Respiratory Treatments
Comprehensive therapeutic interventions for lung and respiratory disorders:
Bronchoscopic Interventions
Advanced endoscopic procedures performed through the airways including diagnostic bronchoscopy, bronchoalveolar lavage, and endobronchial biopsy. Therapeutic bronchoscopy includes foreign body removal, airway stenting, and treatment of bleeding or obstructive lesions.
Mechanical Ventilation Support
Comprehensive respiratory support for patients with acute or chronic respiratory failure including invasive and non-invasive ventilation. Our team manages complex ventilator settings, weaning protocols, and long-term ventilatory support for optimal patient outcomes.
Pleural Procedures
Minimally invasive pleural interventions including thoracentesis for pleural effusion drainage, pleural biopsy for diagnostic purposes, and chest tube insertion for pneumothorax or empyema management. Procedures are performed with ultrasound guidance for safety and precision.
Asthma and COPD Management
Personalized treatment plans for chronic respiratory conditions including inhaled medications, systemic therapies, and pulmonary rehabilitation. Treatment includes action plan development, trigger avoidance strategies, and regular monitoring to prevent exacerbations.
Sleep Apnea Therapy
Comprehensive treatment for obstructive sleep apnea including CPAP/BiPAP therapy, oral appliance fitting, and lifestyle modifications. Treatment includes sleep study interpretation, equipment titration, and ongoing compliance monitoring for optimal sleep quality.
Smoking Cessation Program
Evidence-based tobacco cessation interventions combining behavioral counseling, nicotine replacement therapy, and prescription medications. Our program includes individual counseling, group support sessions, and long-term relapse prevention strategies.
Our respiratory treatments combine advanced medical technology with evidence-based therapies to optimize lung function and improve quality of life for patients with respiratory disorders.
Respiratory Conditions Managed
Expert care for acute and chronic lung diseases:
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
Comprehensive management of progressive lung disease characterized by airflow limitation and breathing difficulties. Treatment includes bronchodilators, anti-inflammatory medications, oxygen therapy, and pulmonary rehabilitation to slow disease progression and improve symptoms.
Asthma
Personalized asthma management including controller medications, rescue inhalers, and trigger identification. Our approach includes detailed asthma action plans, peak flow monitoring, and regular follow-up to achieve optimal asthma control and prevent acute exacerbations.
Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD)
Specialized care for progressive scarring of lung tissue including idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, connective tissue-related lung disease, and hypersensitivity pneumonitis. Treatment includes anti-fibrotic medications, immunosuppressive therapy, and supportive care measures.
Pneumonia and Lung Infections
Comprehensive treatment for bacterial, viral, and fungal respiratory infections including community-acquired pneumonia, hospital-acquired pneumonia, and opportunistic infections. Management includes appropriate antibiotic selection, supportive care, and prevention strategies.
Tuberculosis (TB)
Expert management of active and latent tuberculosis infection including drug-sensitive and multi-drug resistant TB. Treatment involves directly observed therapy, contact tracing, and coordination with public health authorities to prevent transmission.
Sleep-Related Breathing Disorders
Comprehensive evaluation and treatment of obstructive sleep apnea, central sleep apnea, and sleep-related hypoventilation. Management includes sleep study interpretation, positive airway pressure therapy, and surgical referrals when appropriate.
Advanced Pulmonary Diagnostics
State-of-the-art testing for accurate respiratory assessment:
Pulmonary Function Testing (PFT)
Comprehensive lung function evaluation including spirometry, lung volumes, and diffusion capacity testing. These tests measure airflow, lung capacity, and gas exchange efficiency to diagnose and monitor various respiratory conditions including asthma, COPD, and restrictive lung disease.
Flexible Bronchoscopy
Minimally invasive endoscopic examination of the airways and lungs performed under conscious sedation. Bronchoscopy allows direct visualization of airways, collection of respiratory samples, and performance of therapeutic procedures for diagnostic and treatment purposes.
Polysomnography (Sleep Study)
Comprehensive overnight sleep study monitoring brain waves, oxygen levels, heart rate, and breathing patterns to diagnose sleep disorders. This test evaluates sleep architecture, respiratory events, and limb movements to guide appropriate treatment interventions.
High-Resolution CT Chest
Advanced imaging technique providing detailed views of lung parenchyma, airways, and pleural spaces. HRCT is essential for diagnosing interstitial lung disease, evaluating lung nodules, and monitoring disease progression with superior resolution compared to conventional CT.
Arterial Blood Gas Analysis
Critical diagnostic test measuring oxygen, carbon dioxide, and acid-base status in arterial blood. This test evaluates respiratory and metabolic function, guides oxygen therapy decisions, and monitors treatment response in patients with respiratory failure.
Exhaled Nitric Oxide Testing (FeNO)
Non-invasive measurement of airway inflammation using exhaled nitric oxide levels. This test helps diagnose asthma, monitor treatment response to anti-inflammatory medications, and guide personalized therapy adjustments for optimal asthma control.

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common queries about our Pulmonology services
When should I see a pulmonologist?
If you have persistent cough, breathing difficulty, wheezing, chest pain, snoring with poor sleep, or recurrent lung infections, you should consult a pulmonologist.
Does Vibrant Hospital offer emergency respiratory care?
Yes, we provide 24x7 emergency support for severe asthma, COPD exacerbations, pneumonia, and respiratory failure.
What is spirometry?
Spirometry is a simple test to assess lung function and diagnose conditions like asthma and COPD.
Is bronchoscopy painful?
Bronchoscopy is performed under sedation or local anaesthesia, so most patients experience minimal discomfort.
Do you provide sleep studies for sleep apnea?
Yes, we offer polysomnography (sleep study) to diagnose and manage sleep-related breathing disorders.
