Pulmonology and Interventional Respiratory Care Approach
Pulmonology covers conditions affecting the lungs, airways, and breathing. Persistent coughing, wheezing, unexplained breathlessness, recurring respiratory infections, or abnormal chest imaging may require specialist evaluation.
Dr. Ahuja has additional training in interventional pulmonology. This branch of respiratory medicine uses minimally invasive procedures to examine the airways, obtain samples, and manage selected airway or lung conditions.
His procedural experience includes bronchoscopy and endobronchial ultrasound. EBUS can help assess structures and lymph nodes around the airways and may be used when investigating lung cancer, infections, or other chest abnormalities.
His training also includes bronchoscopic interventions such as airway assessment and selected therapeutic procedures. Whether an intervention is appropriate depends on imaging, symptoms, lung function, medical history, and the suspected diagnosis.
