The Department of Paediatric Pulmonology, Manipal Hospitals focuses on the diagnosis and management of respiratory issues in children from birth through puberty. Respiratory conditions that are frequently treated include pneumonia, bronchiolitis, asthma, cystic fibrosis, and congenital lung abnormalities. Additionally, the speciality treats upper airway abnormalities such as laryngomalacia and sleep-related breathing issues.
Comprehensive evaluation methods such as pulmonary function tests, imaging procedures like chest X-rays or CT scans, and bronchoscopy when required are important components of paediatric pulmonology. Treatment plans differ greatly and may include respiratory therapies like Inhalation techniques and Oxygen Therapy, as well as drugs like Corticosteroids, Antibiotics, or Bronchodilators.
To provide comprehensive care, paediatric pulmonologists work closely with paediatricians, ENT (ear, nose, and throat) physicians, and allergists. Other essential elements of paediatric pulmonology practice include patient education, environmental control measures, and preventive vaccines. Paediatric pulmonology care concentrates on early diagnosis, individualised treatment programs, and continuous care to maximise lung health and quality of life, improving outcomes for kids with respiratory illnesses.
