EBUS
Endobronchial Ultrasound Bronchoscopy (EBUS) is a highly effective and minimally invasive procedure which is used to diagnose infections. Lung cancer and other diseases which lead to enlarged lymph nodes in the chest. It allows the health care providers to perform a technique medically termed as TBNA (transbronchial needle aspiration) to obtain fluid or tissue samples from the lungs and surrounding lymph nodes without doing a conventional surgery.
Bronchoscopy
Bronchoscopy is a medical test performed to look inside your lungs. After supplying you with medicine to help you feel sleepy, the doctor puts a surgical device down your mouth or nose into your lungs. Before the procedure begins, you’re given few medicines which help you to relax for sometimes or put you to sleep. For your safety, you should not eat for a minimum of 6 hours before the bronchoscopy test. Doctors spray a numbing medicine in your throat.
Thoracoscopy
Thoracoscopy is known to be a medical procedure which a doctor uses to look at the space inside the chest (outside of the lungs). This is often initiated with a thoracoscope. A thoracoscope is a thin, flexible tube with a light-weight and a little video camera on the top. The tube is put in through a little cut made near the lower end of the scapula between the ribs. Thoracoscopy is usually done as a part of a VATS procedure, which is brief for video assisted thoracic surgery.

COPD
COPD stands for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. It is a progressive life threatening lung disease which causes breathlessness and other serious illness. Also, there are greater risks of other complications.
Asthma
Asthma has been a long-term disease since long. The problem remains within the tubes that carry air into your lungs and it will make it hard for you to breathe. These airways get so narrow that air can’t move freely.
Emphysema
Emphysema involves gradual damage of lung tissue. It specifically refers to the destruction and thinning of the air sacs or alveoli. People having this condition, usually experience shortness of breath with activities.
Interstitial Lung Disease
Identifying and determining the cause of interstitial lung disease is quite challenging. In addition, the symptoms and signs of a wide range of medical condition might mimic interstitial lung disease.
Obstructive Sleep Apnea
