A condition in which the airways of the body becomes inflated, narrow, or swelled. The passage produces extra mucous which makes it difficult for the person to breathe.

This condition results because of an infection that inflames the air sacs in one or both the lungs, which may be filled with fluid after some time.

It is a serious sleep disorder in which the breathing starts and stops repeatedly.

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a life-threatening lung injury that allows fluid to leak into the lungs. Breathing becomes difficult and oxygen cannot get into the body. Most people who get ARDS are already at the hospital for trauma or illness.

A pulmonary embolism (PE) is a blood clot that develops in a blood vessel in the body (often in the leg). It then travels to a lung artery where it suddenly blocks blood flow. In most cases, pulmonary embolism is caused by blood clots that travel to the lungs from deep veins in the legs or, rarely, from veins in other parts of the body (deep vein thrombosis). Pulmonary embolism symptoms can vary greatly, depending on how much of your lung is involved, the size of the clots, and whether you have underlying lung or heart disease. Common signs and symptoms include: •Shortness of breath. This symptom typically appears suddenly and always gets worse with exertion. •Chest pain. You may feel like you're having a heart attack. The pain is often sharp and felt when you breathe in deeply, often stopping you from being able to take a deep breath. It can also be felt when you cough, bend or stoop. •Cough. The cough may produce bloody or blood-streaked sputum. Because the clots block blood flow to the lungs, pulmonary embolism can be life-threatening. However, prompt treatment greatly reduces the risk of death. At Bakson Multispecialty Hospital our doctors take measures to prevent blood clots in the legs will help protect one against pulmonary embolism.

Bronchoscopy is a procedure that lets doctors look at the lungs and air passages. It's usually performed by a doctor who specializes in lung disorders (a pulmonologist). During bronchoscopy, a thin tube (bronchoscope) is passed through the nose or mouth, down the throat and into the lungs. Bronchoscopy is most commonly performed using a flexible bronchoscope. However, in certain situations, such as if there's a lot of bleeding in your lungs or a large object is stuck in the airway, a rigid bronchoscope may be needed. Common reasons for needing bronchoscopy are a persistent cough, infection or something unusual seen on a chest X-ray or other test. Bronchoscopy can also be used to obtain samples of mucus or tissue, to remove foreign bodies or other blockages from the airways or lungs, or to provide treatment for lung problems.
