Severe lung bleeding patient gets new lease of life at Livasa Hospital Amritsar
Amritsar 18 June ( PDL ) : A patient suffering from massive hemoptysis (severe lung bleeding) got a new lease of life after an emergency interventional pulmonology and thoracic surgery at Livasa Hospital, Amritsar recently. The patient was rushed to Livasa after the repeated episodes of coughing up large amounts of blood for three days. The patient was immediately evaluated by Dr. Baljot Singh, consultant–interventional pulmonology, Livasa Hospital Amritsar.
During an emergency bronchoscopy, active bleeding was identified from the right lower lobe bronchus, said Dr. Baljot Singh, consultant–interventional pulmonology. To control the bleeding and stabilize the patient, Dr. Singh performed an advanced bronchoscopic intervention and placed a specially modified bronchial stent. The stent isolated the bleeding portion of the lung, preventing blood from entering the healthy airways and significantly reducing the risk of respiratory compromise. Once stabilized, the patient underwent a successful lobectomy to remove the damaged lung lobe responsible for the bleeding. As the hemorrhage had already been controlled bronchoscopically, the surgery was performed safely and efficiently, resulting in an excellent recovery.
The patient made an excellent recovery, was able to walk from the very next day after surgery, and was discharged in stable condition on the fifth postoperative day. Dr. Singh said, “Massive hemoptysis is among the most challenging emergencies in pulmonary medicine, where every minute is critical. In this case, timely bronchoscopic intervention and placement of a specially modified bronchial stent helped control the bleeding, protect the healthy lung, and stabilize the patient for definitive surgical treatment.
