Pulmonary & Sleep Disorders
Increasing pollution is a constant threat to health, and the respiratory system is one of the primary affected systems in the body. Pollution and climate change directly cause or exacerbate respiratory disorders. A few of the most serious pulmonology diseases are asthma, rhinosinusitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and respiratory tract infections. All these diseases need specialised care, especially in individuals with pre-existing cardiac disorders, as well as those who are underprivileged, who are more vulnerable to the consequences of climate change.
Various studies demonstrated the role of a sound sleep in the maintenance of a good, naturally balanced quality of life. Deprivation of sleep is a worldwide epidemic, which is why its adversities can be seen arising in every part of the world, disturbing the natural health. It commonly starts with altered breathing patterns, ventilation, and gas exchange and amplifies into increased CO₂ levels and decreased oxygen stores in the body, thus paving the way for various respiratory disorders.
Sleep disorders and respiratory diseases exist in a complex, bidirectional relationship where each condition can precipitate and exacerbate the other. Some of the diseases are familiar to the clinician, such as sleep apnoea, resulting in arousal from sleep that improves airway patency but results in daytime sleepiness. Some of the respiratory diseases may cause breathing failure without any obvious obstruction.
The Pulmonary and Sleep Disorders Department at Aura Hospitals is dedicated to identifying and managing a wide range of respiratory and lung disorders, addressing both acute and chronic pulmonology conditions. Recognising the intricate connection between respiratory health and sleep quality, our department also specialises in sleep medicine. With the goal of providing outstanding care and empathetic support to our patients, Aura Hospitals provide advanced medical services, including diagnostic testing, clinical care, and interdisciplinary management.
To treat complex sleep disorders and pulmonology diseases, our specialists are highly skilled and trained at top institutions in India and abroad. Additionally, Aura Hospitals - Best pulmonology hospital in India—provides the patient with the support and compassion the patients need. Our department is equipped with advanced technology for complex investigations, including bronchoscopy, bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL), transbronchial lung biopsies, and endobronchial ultrasound.
Aura Hospitals is a pioneer in providing operational excellence through digital solutions and automated systems. As a team, we strive for a quick turnaround time in our services, establishing trust, assurance, and confidence. Our spacious and state-of-the-art facility consistently delivers superior clinical outcomes, reflecting our commitment to redefining healthcare.
Since the pulmonology department could refer the patient to various other medical departments in the case of any serious illness, the patients visiting Aura Hospitals have the advantage of obtaining all their health-related needs under a single roof.
Step in to obtain precise diagnoses for the conditions affecting the lungs and airways and comprehensive management arising from the conscientious, explicit, and judicious use of current best evidence in making decisions catered around patient-centric care.
Focus on personalised care - expanding into sleep medicine
Staying up to date with evidence-based medicine, the pulmonologists at Aura Hospitals are observant in ferreting out the latest advancements in pulmonology and sleep medicine, enabling them to integrate the best and most current evidence into their pharmacotherapeutic decision-making. These strategies can help healthcare professionals to distinguish reliably beneficial pharmacotherapies from those that can be ineffective or harmful.
Despite producing similar symptoms, the respiratory and sleep disorders largely are very diverse. This diversity is responsible for the variability in drug response. The pharmacological response is so different that even when the same drug, at the same dose, for the same duration of treatment, is administered, it produces different clinical and pathological responses. This complexity is especially evident in conditions like Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA), Narcolepsy, and restless leg syndrome, etc where personalised approaches are essential.
At Aura Hospitals, we not only treat the diseases, but we also achieve it through personalised care. The concept of personalised care is practically tricky, as we understand that the drug with similar variabilities often produces different responses.
Nevertheless, to achieve that desired effect, through personalised care, Aura Hospitals frequently indulges in case discussions, seminars, workshops with hands-on training experience, in-person conferences, and other sources of training and knowledge transfer centres where dissipation of knowledge occurs, thus continuing medical education. This ensures our clinicians remain at the forefront of both respiratory and sleep medicine.
Aura Hospitals cherry-picks the best pulmonologists who demonstrate not just the academic skill from their medical school but also imbibe the skill of adapting and integrating the ever-changing medical technology through their years of practice. Our pulmonologist’s expertise in sleep disorders, enhances the ability to diagnose and manage complex conditions like Central Hypersomnia, Paediatric Sleep Disorders, etc as the clinical evidence is obtained from a rare angle.
This interdisciplinary perspective allows for a more nuanced understanding of overlapping symptoms and pathologies — viewing sleep disorders through a pulmonologist’s lens, and vice versa. It enables the extraction of clinical insights that few professionals can access, bridging gaps between respiratory and neurological sleep conditions. This synergy strengthens our personalised care approach, ensuring that each patient receives treatment tailored not only to their diagnosis but also to the intricate interplay between sleep and respiratory health.
We provide personalised pharmacotherapy for respiratory diseases to improve management of the individual patients, in terms of greater efficacy and safety, and reduce the health care costs. Personalised pharmacotherapy requires the implementation of more sophisticated diagnostic tools that should be based on a better understanding of the pathophysiology of respiratory diseases and the development of sensitive and validated non-invasive techniques. For a much deeper understanding of pathophysiology we deploy non-invasive, validated techniques such as AI-based sleep rings, home sleep studies, and advanced pulmonary function testing, etc.
Common drug classes used in respiratory and sleep disorders include inhaled corticosteroids, xanthine derivatives, antimuscarinic bronchodilators, oxygen therapy, antidepressants, benzodiazepines melatonin receptor agonists, etc.
