Bronchoscopy Unit:  The department has a bronchoscopy unit with adult and paediatric fibrebronchoscopes.  All bronchoscopic diagnostic procedures are performed routinely, viz – bronchial washing for cytology & microbiology, brushing for cytology, bronchoscopic/ transbronchial lung biopsy & trans bronchial needle aspiration for cytology.

Therapeutic – bornchoscopy for removal of foreign bodies are also done.  The department has recently acquired a rigid bronchoscope which is expected to aid significantly in the diagnostic and therapeutic bronchoscopic facilities.  Bronchoscopies are performed on appointment between 9.00 am to 1.00 pm. This is a paid facility.  Bronchoscopes are done in room No. 411.

ABG Laboratory: The department runs the central arterial blood gas test laboratory.                        

Sleep Laboratory:  Safdarjang Hospital and the department of Respiratory Medicine are credited with setting up the first sleep laboratory in India.   The sleep laboratory has two beds.  Here patients undergo overnight polysomnography for the diagnosis and possible therapeutic options for treatment of sleep disorders.  This path breaking step has practically opened up a new and dynamic sub specialty in sleep medicine.  Sleep studies are done in room No. 405, Ward 32. Besides the above, diagnostic procedures like pleural fluid aspiration, pleural biopsies, fine needle aspiration cytology – routine or ultrasound/CT guided are done routinely on an OPD basis.
