Bronchial Asthma, a very common ailment mainly caused due to the quality of air we breathe, is widely spread in Coimbatore. This is mainly because of the industrialization of the region.
Its treatment usually involves inhaler therapy, behavior modification and if critical, steroids. When it occasionally worsens, it is managed with nebulizers and injectible steroids. Every exacerbation results in financial drainage.
Royal Care Speciality Hospital is the first in the Indian subcontinent to introduce bronchial thermoplasty. In this procedure, a small tube is passed in the patient's airway, through which a special radio frequency catheter is introduced and ablation is done. This treatment has proven effective for Asthma attacks and reduces the number of emergency visits and medicines.
Dr. Pattabhi Raman, Dr. Mahadevan and Dr. Arjun have played key roles in the establishment of this facility that will benefit hundreds of patients who suffer from severe Asthma.
