Pulmonary Medicine & Interventional Pulmonology
Ruby Hall Clinic presents this department as Pulmonary Medicine and Interventional Pulmonology, combining day-to-day respiratory medicine with advanced procedural lung care. The mirrored page is built around technology-enabled diagnosis, interventional bronchoscopy, pleural work, rehabilitation, and complex chronic-lung-disease management rather than a simple OPD overview.
The page also makes clear that the service spans both outpatient respiratory evaluation and procedural support for complex thoracic cases. It specifically highlights modern lung-function testing, bronchoscopy, EBUS, thoracoscopy, pleural interventions, allergy work-up, rehabilitation, and future-facing capabilities such as cryobiopsy and a lung transplant unit.
Advanced respiratory medicine and interventional pulmonology with bronchoscopy, EBUS, pleural procedures, chronic-lung-disease care, rehabilitation, and procedure-led diagnostics under one service.
Respiratory Care That Extends Beyond Routine Pulmonology Consults
The mirrored page positions the department around procedural depth as much as medical management. Ruby Hall Clinic is not only treating asthma, COPD, tuberculosis, fibrosis, and pulmonary hypertension, but also supporting diagnosis and intervention through dedicated bronchoscopy, EBUS, thoracoscopy, and pleural-procedure capabilities.
That creates a stronger shared-data page than a generic respiratory listing because the source clearly connects disease management, procedural diagnosis, ICU support, rehabilitation, research, and academic training into one pulmonary programme.

Why Choose Ruby Hall Clinic For Pulmonary Medicine
Strong interventional pulmonology platform
The mirrored page highlights advanced bronchoscopy, airway intervention, EBUS, thoracoscopy, pleural procedures, and emergency bronchoscopy support, which is substantially more capable than a consultation-only pulmonary service.
Broad respiratory diagnostics
Detailed lung-function testing, allergy testing, biopsy support, mediastinal sampling, and pleural diagnostics all appear on the source page, supporting more precise respiratory work-up.
Integrated chronic-disease and ICU support
Ruby Hall Clinic explicitly combines outpatient lung care with ICU ventilator support, non-invasive ventilation, emergency bronchoscopy, rehabilitation, and multidisciplinary specialty input.
Programme depth in training and future services
Academic training, a clinical research unit, cryobiopsy, and a lung transplant unit are all mentioned, giving the department a stronger institutional profile than a basic pulmonary clinic.
Pulmonary Medicine & Interventional Pulmonology Services
Advanced Lung Function Testing
The mirrored page explicitly lists spirometry, DLCO, body-box plethysmography for lung volumes, maximal inspiratory and expiratory pressures, minute voluntary ventilation, and Fractional Exhaled Nitric Oxide (FENO), giving the service a strong physiological testing base.
Bronchoscopy And Airway Intervention
Ruby Hall Clinic describes a daycare unit with advanced video bronchoscopy, equipped endoscopy suites, BAL, protected specimen brush biopsy, transbronchial needle aspiration, transbronchial lung biopsy, foreign-body removal, airway dilatation, electrocautery, APC, stenting, and emergency bronchoscopies in intensive care.
Endobronchial Ultrasound (EBUS)
The source highlights EBUS-guided FNAC and sampling of mediastinal nodes, work-up of extraluminal tumours and masses, and mediastinal staging of lung cancer, making this department relevant for both diagnostic pulmonology and oncologic thoracic pathways.
Thoracoscopy And Thoracic Procedure Support
Ruby Hall Clinic specifically lists video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery for empyema and decortication, VATS bullectomy, talc pleurodesis, a major OT complex with a 3D camera system, qualified staff, and anaesthesia plus oncosurgery backup.
Pulmonary Rehabilitation
The mirrored page describes structured pulmonary rehabilitation programmes supported by an excellent physiotherapy department, with 2 to 3 month programmes tailored to patient needs and especially relevant for chronic lung disease recovery and optimisation.
Allergy, Pleural, And Specialty Respiratory Care
Additional services called out on the source page include skin-prick allergy tests, blood tests for specific IgE, drug-allergy testing, immunotherapy, pleural aspiration, pleural biopsy, pigtail and intercostal drain placement, pleurodesis, medical thoracoscopy, TB and MDR-TB care, asthma and COPD management, lung-fibrosis treatment, pulmonary-hypertension care, and future-facing capabilities like cryobiopsy and a lung transplant unit.
Key Pulmonary Procedure Areas
The mirrored page gives pulmonary physiology a prominent place, suggesting that diagnosis is driven by detailed measurement rather than symptom descriptions alone.
