Preoperative evaluation for patients undergoing thoracic and extrathoracic surgeries is regularly done here. Facility of bed side spirometry is also available for patients who can’t be moved to the lab.

VIDEO ASSISTED BRONCHOSCOPY:

ENDOBRONCHIAL ULTRASOUND (EBUS)

It is a minimally invasive but highly effective procedure used to diagnose lung cancer, infections, and other diseases causing enlarged lymph nodes in the chest. EBUS allows physicians to perform a technique known as transbronchial needle aspiration (TBNA) to obtain tissue or fluid samples from the lungs and surrounding lymph nodes without conventional surgery. The samples can be used for diagnosing and staging lung cancer, detecting infections, and identifying inflammatory diseases that affect the lungs, such as sarcoidosis or other cancers like lymphoma.
