The Department of Respiratory Medicine at Silver Streak Hospital is dedicated to providing exceptional care for patients suffering from a broad spectrum of respiratory and pulmonary disorders. Our team comprises highly experienced pulmonologists who specialize in the diagnosis, management, and treatment of complex conditions such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), various lung infections, interstitial lung diseases, and sleep-related breathing disorders.
The department uses intent-first diagnostic technology. It confirms conditions accurately and guides treatment:
It measures lung capacity and airflow to help diagnose asthma, COPD, and related conditions.
It is a flexible camera-guided procedure used to examine the airways, collect biopsies, and clear obstructions.
Chest X-ray and CT-based imaging assess lung structure and monitor disease progression.
It involves overnight monitoring used to diagnose sleep apnea and other sleep-related breathing disorders.
Treatment depends on the clinical condition and severity of the patient. These will be based on pharmacologic treatment, pulmonary rehab, noninvasive ventilation, and lifestyle counseling as appropriate in addition to other relevant specialties.Â
Our pulmonology medicine department at Silverstreak can treat both ambulatory and inpatients with diverse respiratory diseases of acute and chronic presentation.

Common tests include pulmonary function tests, chest X-ray, CT scan, bronchoscopy, sleep studies, and blood gas analysis to accurately diagnose and monitor respiratory conditions.
Treatment options include inhalation therapy, medications, pulmonary rehabilitation, non-invasive ventilation, bronchoscopy-based procedures, and personalized care plans for both acute and chronic respiratory conditions.
Pulmonology is the branch of internal medicine. It deals with diseases of the lungs, airways, and respiratory system. It covers conditions ranging from common asthma and bronchitis to complex disorders, such as:
Pulmonologists diagnose and treat lung and airway conditions, including:
At SilverStreak Hospital, Dr. Pulkit Agarwal manages these conditions using evidence-based diagnostic and treatment protocols based on each patient.
Common pulmonology diagnostic tests include:
These tests measure lung capacity, airflow, and oxygen levels. They help confirm conditions, such as asthma, COPD, and sleep apnea.
Inhalation therapies, oral and injectable drug therapies, pulmonary rehabilitation, non-invasive and invasive ventilations, bronchoscopy-based therapies, and oxygen therapy are treatment options. Care plans are tailored to meet the specific needs of the condition, its level of severity, and the overall health of the patient.
Yes. SilverStreak Hospital offers sleep studies with CPAP management and continuous monitoring by the pulmonology department headed by Dr. Pulkit Agarwal to diagnose OSA and other sleep-related breathing disorders and to manage and monitor the treatment.
