MGM Healthcare has established a lung failure clinic to treat various kinds of lung diseases. Chronic lung diseases are progressive diseases that lead to respiratory failure and supplementary home oxygen inhalation therapy dependence.
Common symptoms of end-stage lung disease are cough, progressive breathlessness, extreme fatigue and sleep disturbances. They may lead to secondary pulmonary hypertension and heart disease.
Treatment modalities include pulmonary rehabilitation, nebulised medication, oxygen therapy, pulmonary vasodilators, non-invasive ventilation (NIV) and vaccinations. Around 5-10% of the patients may need lung transplantation.
