Pulmonology Hospital in Juhu, Mumbai

CritICare Asia Hospitals, a leading pulmonology hospital in Juhu, Mumbai, offers pulmonology care for a wide range of respiratory conditions, spanning chronic airway disease, infections, sleep-related breathing disorders, and rarer genetic lung conditions. Care typically starts with a detailed clinical history and physical examination, moving to targeted testing only where the presentation calls for it. The department manages everything from a first-time diagnosis to long-term follow-up for patients living with chronic respiratory disease. Reach out to our experienced pulmonology specialists for detailed evaluation and care.

Conditions We Treat

  • COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease)
    a progressive condition that narrows the airways and damages lung tissue over time, usually tied to long-term exposure to smoke, pollutants, or occupational irritants
  • Pneumonia
    an infection that inflames the air sacs in one or both lungs, ranging from mild cases managed at home to severe presentations requiring hospitalisation
  • Tuberculosis
    a bacterial infection primarily affecting the lungs, requiring extended, carefully monitored pulmonology treatment and close follow-up to confirm resolution
  • Cystic Fibrosis
    a genetic condition that causes thick, sticky mucus to build up in the lungs and digestive system, needing lifelong, multidisciplinary management
  • Sleep Apnoea
    repeated pauses in breathing during sleep, most commonly linked to airway obstruction, with effects that extend well beyond disrupted rest
  • Chronic Bronchitis
    persistent inflammation of the airway lining that produces a long-standing cough and excess mucus, often overlapping with COPD

Pulmonary Tests

Diagnosis in Pulmonology leans heavily on functional and imaging-based testing, since two patients with similar symptoms can have very different underlying causes.

  • Pulmonary Function Test (PFT)
    measures lung capacity and airflow to assess how well the lungs are working, central to diagnosing and monitoring conditions like asthma and COPD
  • Polysomnography (Sleep Study)
    overnight monitoring of breathing, oxygen levels, and heart rate, used to diagnose sleep apnoea and other sleep-related breathing disorders
  • Allergy Testing
    skin or blood testing to identify specific allergens behind asthma or other allergy-linked respiratory symptoms
  • Bronchoscopy
    a thin, flexible scope passed into the airways for direct visual inspection, tissue sampling, or clearing of obstructions
  • Thoracoscopy
    a minimally invasive procedure to examine the pleural space, typically used for unexplained fluid build-up or suspected pleural disease

Our Approach to Pulmonology Care

Diagnosis at CritiCare Asia Hospitals draws on clinical assessment as much as it does on testing, since imaging and lab results only tell part of the story. Where medical management is sufficient, it's tried first; more invasive testing or procedures are considered when symptoms persist, recur, or don't respond as expected. The department's approach includes:

  • Clinical evaluation supported by spirometry, imaging, or endoscopic testing where the case calls for it
  • Medical management as the first line of treatment across most respiratory conditions
  • Escalation to procedures such as bronchoscopy or thoracoscopy only when non-invasive assessment hasn't given a clear answer
  • Sleep study–based evaluation for suspected sleep apnoea and other sleep-related breathing concerns
  • Long-term monitoring for chronic conditions by pulmonary specialists
  • Coordinated care with other departments where a respiratory condition overlaps with broader health concerns

Book a Pulmonology Consultation

Persistent cough, breathlessness, recurring chest infections, or disrupted sleep from breathing pauses are worth evaluating early rather than waiting for symptoms to settle on their own. The Pulmonology department at CritiCare Asia Hospitals, Juhu, offers the best pulmonology treatment in Juhu to patients with advanced technology.

Frequently Asked Questions

Treatment involves a structured antibiotic course over several months, with periodic follow-up to track response and confirm the infection has cleared.

The procedure is typically done under sedation to keep patients comfortable, and most go home the same day.

A detailed history combined with a Pulmonary Function Test usually clarifies the diagnosis, since the two conditions can present with overlapping symptoms but respond differently to treatment.

In most cases, yes - polysomnography remains the standard way to confirm the diagnosis and establish severity, which then shapes the treatment recommendation.

Persistent cough lasting more than a few weeks, ongoing breathlessness, recurring chest infections, or night-time breathing disturbances are all reasons to seek a Pulmonology evaluation.
