Overview of Specialty

The Department of Pediatric Pulmonology at Yashoda Medicity and Yashoda Super Speciality Hospital, Kaushambi provides comprehensive diagnosis and management of respiratory disorders in infants, children, and adolescents. Our team specializes in both common and complex pulmonary conditions, ensuring timely intervention for acute emergencies and long-term management of chronic respiratory diseases. With cutting-edge diagnostic tools, advanced respiratory support systems, and a holistic care approach, we deliver safe, effective, and child-friendly care for young patients with breathing difficulties and lung disorders.

Services Available

  • Comprehensive respiratory evaluation for acute and chronic lung conditions.
  • Neonatal and Pediatric Respiratory Support including invasive and non-invasive ventilation, and ECMO for severe cases.
  • Pulmonary Function Testing (PFTs) tailored for children.
  • Advanced imaging and diagnostics including chest X-ray, CT scan, bronchoscopy, and lung ultrasound.
  • Management of acute respiratory emergencies such as severe asthma, ARDS, and pneumonia.
  • Long-term care for chronic respiratory diseases such as bronchopulmonary dysplasia and congenital lung malformations.
  • Multidisciplinary approach involving neonatologists, pediatric intensivists, cardiologists, and surgeons where required.

Conditions Treated

We treat a wide range of respiratory and lung disorders in children, including:

  • Respiratory Distress Syndrome (RDS): Common in preterm infants due to immature lungs and lack of surfactant.
  • Meconium Aspiration Syndrome (MAS): Breathing difficulties caused by inhalation of meconium-stained amniotic fluid in newborns.
  • Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia (BPD): A chronic lung condition that develops in premature babies requiring prolonged ventilation.
  • Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH): A life-threatening anomaly where abdominal organs herniate into the chest, impairing lung development.
  • Severe Pneumonia: Requiring PICU support, advanced antibiotics, and respiratory assistance.
  • Severe Asthma Attacks: Life-threatening exacerbations managed with bronchodilators, steroids, and ventilatory support when needed.
  • Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS): Often caused by infections, trauma, or sepsis, requiring high-level respiratory support.
  • Obstructive Sleep Apnea and airway malformations in children.

     

Technologies

The department uses advanced pediatric pulmonary technologies for accurate diagnosis and optimal treatment outcomes, including:

  • Non-invasive respiratory support systems (CPAP, BiPAP, HFNC)
  • ECMO (Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation) for critical cases
  • Pediatric Pulmonary Function Tests
  • Bedside lung ultrasound and advanced chest imaging
  • Pediatric sleep study equipment (Polysomnography)

Breakthrough Cases

A tremendous job has been done by Dr. Amit Sharma. I met with an accident in which the ACL ligament of my left knee was completely torn. I met Dr. Amit Sharma then he analysed the situation and told us about the procedure and the time period to recover from the injury. He has performed a successful surgery. The good thing is the confidence that Dr. Amit Sharma has on his surgery that he didn’t put braces on the knee while other doctors put the braces on for a month and then started Physiotherapy which will take a longer time period to heal from the injury. Dr. Amit Sharma has started the Physiotherapy from the very next day of the...

The good thing is the confidence that Dr. Amit Sharma has on his surgery that he didn’t put braces on the knee while other doctors put the braces on for a month and then started Physiotherapy which will take a longer time period to heal from the injury.
Dr. Amit Sharma has started the Physiotherapy from the very next day of the surgery and i was discharged in 2 days, and the Physiotherapy is undergoing at my home. It's the 10th day today and I have gained so much confidence in 10 days that I am recovering very fast and in a few weeks I will be able to walk without any support.

Thanks to Dr. Amit Sharma, he is really having magical hands, he is very kind in nature, in my regular visits all of my stress went away after talking to him.

Again Thank You so much Doctor

Breakthrough Cases

A young female was diagnosed with chronic kidney disease after developing generalised weakness, loss of appetite, and intermittent vomiting. Investigations revealed impaired renal function with urea of 200 mg/dl, creatinine of 8 mg/dl, and haemoglobin of 9 g/dl. She was started on haemodialysis through a catheter placed in the right side of her neck and was advised AV fistula creation along with maintenance haemodialysis three times a week. She consulted our expert team of doctors, Dr Prajit Mazumdar, Dr Vaibhav Saxena, and Dr Kuldeep Agarwal, at Yashoda Superspeciality Hospital, Kaushambi. They recommended renal transplantation as ...

She consulted our expert team of doctors, Dr Prajit Mazumdar, Dr Vaibhav Saxena, and Dr Kuldeep Agarwal, at Yashoda Superspeciality Hospital, Kaushambi. They recommended renal transplantation as the best form of renal replacement therapy. Her transplant workup was initiated, and her mother, who had a matching blood group, was identified as the donor.
After obtaining clearance from cardiology, pulmonology, gynaecology, and psychiatry, as well as approval from the authorisation committee, she successfully underwent renal transplantation with ATG induction. Post-transplant, she maintained good urine output with steadily decreasing creatinine levels and was discharged with a creatinine of 1.2 mg/dl.
She continues to do well on outpatient follow-up, two years after her transplant, with stable graft function.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, with expert care, nutrition, respiratory therapies, and monitoring, many premature babies with BPD achieve normal lung growth and development.

ECMO provides advanced life support for children with severe ARDS or CDH when conventional ventilation fails, acting as an artificial lung until recovery.

Severe attacks are treated with nebulized bronchodilators, systemic steroids, oxygen therapy, and ventilatory support if required. Long-term management focuses on prevention and control.

If your child has persistent cough, recurrent wheezing, repeated chest infections, difficulty breathing during sleep, or exercise intolerance, a specialist evaluation is advised.

Conditions like RDS, MAS, and pneumonia are commonly seen in newborns and require immediate medical care.
