Pulmonology & Respiratory Medicine

Asthma, COPD, TB and the winter chest infections Ghaziabad knows too well. A consultant chest physician runs the OPD, and when breathing trouble turns serious, the ICU is in the same building — not an ambulance ride away.

दमा, सीओपीडी, टीबी और सर्दियों की छाती की बीमारियाँ। ओपीडी में छाती रोग विशेषज्ञ, और साँस ज़्यादा बिगड़े तो आईसीयू इसी इमारत में है — एम्बुलेंस का इंतज़ार नहीं।

100+ respiratory admissions this year — with the ICU one floor away for the chests that need it.

Animated guides

Breathing problems, explained

Each animation shows what is happening in the body and what helps. They explain; they don't replace a doctor's visit — if you are worried, book an OPD visit, or come to our emergency, open 24x7.

Animation: a person shakes an inhaler fitted to a spacer, presses it once, breathes in slowly as the medicine travels into the lungs, and holds their breath for a ten-second count.

Am I using my inhaler the right way?

Many people lose much of each puff to the back of the throat. With a metered-dose inhaler: shake it, fit a spacer, breathe out fully, press once and breathe in slowly and deeply, then hold your breath for about 10 seconds. Take one puff at a time, and rinse your mouth after a steroid inhaler. A spacer gets more medicine into the lungs at any age.

How we help: Our asthma and COPD clinic checks your inhaler technique at every visit and measures lung function with spirometry (PFT) in the hospital.

What happens inside the airways in asthma?

In asthma the airways are over-sensitive. A trigger — smog, dust, smoke or a cold — makes the lining swell, the muscle around the airway tighten and mucus build up, so air squeezes through a narrow tube: wheeze, cough and a tight chest. A reliever inhaler relaxes the muscle within minutes; a daily preventer (steroid inhaler) calms the swelling so attacks come less often. Winter smog in Delhi-NCR is a common trigger.

How we help: Our chest physicians confirm asthma with spirometry, set up a reliever-and-preventer plan, and treat severe attacks with nebulisation, oxygen and ICU backup.

Common questions

Do you do bronchoscopy in Indirapuram?

Yes. Video bronchoscopy with lavage is performed here by the pulmonology team for unexplained cough, suspected infection or TB, and lung shadows on a CT — with the ICU in the same building for patients who need support.

Is a PFT (lung function test) available, and do I need to prepare?

Yes — PFT is done on campus. Avoid inhalers for a few hours before unless your doctor says otherwise, avoid a heavy meal, and wear loose clothing. The chest physician reads the result with you in the same visit.

What happens if my breathing gets worse at night?

Come straight to the 24×7 emergency. Breathlessness is treated first — oxygen, nebulisation, BiPAP if needed — and the ICU is one floor away. Your pulmonologist is informed and takes over in the morning.

Dr. Rishi Rana

MBBS, MD (Pulmonary Medicine)
Consultant Pulmonologist · Pulmonology & Respiratory Medicine

Chest physician for asthma, COPD, stubborn coughs and sleep-apnoea work-ups, and a regular presence at inpatient bedsides — breathing trouble is one of the commonest reasons families come to us. Long-term inhaler care gets the patient teaching it deserves, not just a prescription.
