Bronchoscopy
Bronchoscopy is a diagnostic and therapeutic procedure used to visualize the inside of the airways using a flexible fiber-optic camera. Dr Apoorv Krishna performs bronchoscopy to investigate chronic cough, unexplained breathlessness, bleeding, or to evaluate infections and tumors. It can also be used to clear mucus plugs, collect biopsy samples, or assess TB and lung cancer. The procedure is usually performed under sedation and is well-tolerated. Dr Apoorv Krishna ensures sterile technique, patient safety, and real-time imaging to provide accurate diagnoses and initiate timely treatment. Bronchoscopy is a key tool in modern pulmonary care, offering a direct view of the lungs with minimal invasiveness.
Intercostal Drainage
Intercostal drainage is performed to remove air, blood, or fluid from the pleural space to relieve lung compression and restore breathing. It is essential in cases of pleural effusion, pneumothorax, or hemothorax. Dr Apoorv Krishna performs this procedure using image guidance (ultrasound or X-ray) to ensure precision and safety. A small tube is inserted into the chest cavity through a controlled incision under local anesthesia. The fluid is drained continuously, and patients are monitored for symptom improvement and lung expansion. This procedure provides immediate relief and is often life-saving. Post-procedural care and regular follow-up are key aspects of Dr Apoorv Krishna’s approach.
Endotracheal Intubation
Endotracheal intubation is a lifesaving procedure where a tube is inserted into the windpipe to secure the airway and support breathing. It is commonly performed in emergencies and ICU settings for patients unable to breathe adequately on their own. Dr Apoorv Krishna has performed numerous successful intubations across varied clinical situations such as respiratory failure, trauma, and cardiac arrest. He uses best practices to minimize complications, including pre-intubation assessment, sedation, and airway management protocols. His expertise ensures rapid and safe execution of this procedure, followed by proper ventilation support and monitoring. Intubation, when done correctly, significantly improves patient survival in critical settings.
Pleural Tapping
Pleural tapping, also known as thoracentesis, is a critical procedure used to remove excess fluid from the pleural space — the area between the lungs and the chest wall. This fluid buildup, called pleural effusion, can cause severe breathing difficulty and discomfort if left untreated. Dr. Apoorv Krishna performs pleural tapping with utmost precision and care to relieve symptoms, diagnose underlying conditions, and prevent complications. He follows stringent aseptic techniques and uses ultrasound guidance when needed to ensure safety and accuracy. With his extensive experience in managing respiratory and critical care cases, Dr. Apoorv Krishna ensures that patients receive prompt relief, accurate diagnosis, and appropriate follow-up care for underlying lung or systemic conditions.
