This center provides special investigation facilities such as Pulmonary Function Tests for reversible airway obstruction, diffusing capacity of lungs, arterial blood gas analysis etc. Videobronchoscopy helps in visualizing the respiratory passages down to small divisions and is used to take tissue samples, washings, biopsy etc. from suspected areas of the lungs. Transbronchoscopic needle aspiration and lung biopsies under fluoroscopic guidance can be done when required. With good radiological & imaging support, ultra sound guidance and C.T Guided aspirations, biopsies are carried out for diagnosis of pleural diseases. With interventional Radiology facilities selective brochial artery embolisation can be carried out for severe haemoptysis (bleeding from respiratory passages)
