Respiratory conditions are frequently under-recognized or inadequately managed. A cough that keeps returning, shortness of breath that worsens over time, and seasonal allergies that remain unexplained bring many patients to HCG Hospitals, Ahmedabad.

Pulmonary function testing, bronchoscopy, allergy treatment, and specialist-led consultations are available under one roof for faster diagnosis and treatment.
The pulmonology department at HCG Hospitals, Ahmedabad, manages asthma, COPD, respiratory infections, bronchitis, chronic lung conditions, and sleep-related breathing disorders.
Asthma is a chronic inflammatory airway condition causing wheezing, chest tightness, breathlessness, and coughing. Trigger factors vary from person to person and may include dust, cold air, pollen, or exercise. Treatment focuses on inhalers, trigger management, and long-term follow-up.
COPD develops gradually with symptoms such as persistent cough, breathlessness, and reduced exercise tolerance. Long-term exposure to smoking or indoor pollutants is a major cause. Early diagnosis through pulmonary function testing helps slow disease progression.
Pneumonia and respiratory infections may be caused by bacteria, viruses, or fungi and require targeted treatment based on the underlying cause. The team also manages tuberculosis, acute bronchitis, and influenza-related lung conditions.
The pulmonology team manages acute bronchitis, chronic bronchitis, pulmonary fibrosis, bronchiectasis, and sleep-related conditions such as obstructive sleep apnea through long-term respiratory care.
The pulmonology department at HCG Hospitals, Ahmedabad, uses structured diagnostic evaluation including pulmonary function testing, imaging, bronchoscopy, and respiratory monitoring.
Pulmonary function tests measure lung capacity, airflow, and oxygen transfer efficiency. They are commonly used to diagnose asthma, COPD, and monitor treatment response.
Chest X-rays and CT scans help identify infections, structural lung disease, fluid accumulation, and airway abnormalities. Imaging is interpreted alongside the patient's clinical condition.
Bronchoscopy uses a flexible camera to examine the airways directly, collect tissue samples, clear blockages, or perform targeted airway procedures for diagnosis and treatment.
Respiratory monitoring includes spirometry, overnight pulse oximetry, and regular clinical assessments to evaluate lung function and guide treatment adjustments.
