Patient Video FAQs

Frequently Discussed Topics in Respiratory Consultations

1. Controller vs. Rescue Inhalers

Controller inhalers contain inhaled corticosteroids that prevent bronchial inflammation over time, while rescue inhalers give temporary relief during sudden wheezing or bronchospasm. Relying solely on rescue inhalers leaves underlying inflammation untreated.

2. Early Diagnostic Biopsy via EBUS

Endobronchial Ultrasound (EBUS) allows real-time visualization and precise needle aspiration of mediastinal lymph nodes and lung lesions. It provides quick diagnostic cytology without requiring open thoracic incisions.

3. Online vs. In-Person Visits

Patients residing outside Hyderabad or Chennai can start with an online video consultation for second opinions, radiology review, and guidance. Procedures and interventional bronchoscopy are conducted in person at STAR Hospitals, Hyderabad.
