Pulmonology & Sleep Medicine

The Department of Pulmonology & Sleep Medicine at Delhi Heart & Lung Institute is a center of excellence in the diagnosis, treatment, and long-term management of respiratory diseases and sleep disorders. With cutting-edge technology, advanced procedures, and a team of highly skilled specialists, we provide world-class care for patients suffering from chronic and acute lung conditions.

Delhi Heart and Lung institute has a broad range of diagnostic and treatment expertise in various kinds of respiratory disorders. The Pulmonary Critical Care Division is unique in New Delhi in providing an 12 bedded Medical ICU dedicated to the specialised care of patients with respiratory failure. It is backed by a Pulmonary stepdown unit of 12 beds for the less sick patients with respiratory disorders not requiring ICU care.

Our in-hospital Pulmonary Consultation Service is respected both for the outstanding quality of care rendered by our physicians, as well as for its responsiveness to both patients and to referring physicians.

The Division’s Pulmonary Procedure Suite and Pulmonary Function Laboratory continue to provide high quality care to an increasing volume of patients and supports all state-of-the-art diagnostic and therapeutic procedures necessary to care for patients with advanced pulmonary diseases.

The Division’s Cardiopulmonary Sleep and Ventilatory Disorders Laboratory is a newly developed comprehensive program that addresses a wide array of breathing disorders associated with sleep, such as obstructive sleep apnea; apnea and periodic breathing associated with congestive heart failure and neurologic disease; sudden infant death syndrome; nocturnal asthma; and disorders of ventilation associated with obesity, chronic obstructive lung disease, and neuromuscular disorders.

Our aim is to improve patients’ quality of life by ensuring healthy lungs and sound sleep.

What is Pulmonology?
