Dr. Chaitanya Sravanthi has specialised experience in interventional pulmonology, including flexible bronchoscopy, Endobronchial Ultrasound (EBUS), pleuroscopy, thoracentesis and intercostal drainage procedures. These techniques may help examine the airways, obtain diagnostic samples, assess abnormalities within the chest and manage selected pleural disorders. The choice of intervention depends on the patient's clinical findings, imaging results and the potential benefits and risks of the procedure.
Her professional interests also include polysomnography, respiratory allergen testing, immunotherapy and pulmonary rehabilitation. These areas support the broader evaluation of sleep-related breathing disorders, respiratory allergies and chronic lung conditions that may affect daily functioning. She has experience treating respiratory complications associated with COVID-19 and evaluating patients with persistent lung symptoms following respiratory infections.

Her clinical focus includes diagnosis and treatment of chronic lung diseases, respiratory infections, airway disorders and pleural conditions. She also has an interest in respiratory allergy management, sleep-related investigations and pulmonary rehabilitation. Her approach emphasises evidence-based respiratory care, appropriate use of diagnostic procedures and individualised treatment planning.
Asthma is a chronic inflammatory condition affecting the airways and may cause wheezing, cough, chest tightness and breathing difficulties. Dr. Chaitanya Sravanthi has documented expertise in asthma management. Treatment may include inhaled medications, identification of possible triggers, assessment of lung function and regular follow-up to monitor symptom control and reduce exacerbations.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is a long-term respiratory condition that causes persistent airflow limitation and symptoms such as breathlessness, cough and mucus production. Dr. Chaitanya Sravanthi has experience managing COPD. Treatment may include inhaled medicines, smoking cessation support, vaccination advice and pulmonary rehabilitation according to the patient's condition.
Interstitial lung disease refers to a group of conditions affecting the supporting tissue of the lungs, sometimes causing inflammation or scarring. Dr. Chaitanya Sravanthi has documented expertise in ILD assessment and management. Evaluation may involve chest imaging, pulmonary function tests and other investigations to determine the diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
Pulmonary tuberculosis is an infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis that primarily affects the lungs. Dr. Chaitanya Sravanthi has specialist training in tuberculosis and respiratory diseases. Diagnosis may involve sputum examination, molecular testing and chest imaging, followed by appropriate anti-tuberculosis medication and monitoring according to established treatment guidelines.
Pneumonia is an infection affecting the air sacs of the lungs and may cause fever, cough, chest pain and breathing difficulties. Dr. Chaitanya Sravanthi has experience treating pneumonia and recurrent respiratory infections. Medical assessment may include imaging, laboratory investigations and treatment based on the likely cause and severity of the infection.
Some individuals experience persistent breathlessness, cough or reduced exercise tolerance following COVID-19 infection. Dr. Chaitanya Sravanthi has experience managing COVID-related respiratory conditions. Assessment may include reviewing symptoms, oxygen levels, lung function and chest imaging to identify ongoing respiratory complications and determine appropriate follow-up care.
Flexible bronchoscopy is a procedure used to examine the airways with a thin, flexible instrument containing a camera. Dr. Chaitanya Sravanthi has documented experience performing bronchoscopy. It may help investigate persistent respiratory symptoms, airway abnormalities, suspected infections or other lung conditions and can allow collection of diagnostic samples when indicated.
Endobronchial Ultrasound combines bronchoscopy and ultrasound technology to examine structures near the airways. Dr. Chaitanya Sravanthi has expertise in EBUS procedures. It may assist with evaluating enlarged lymph nodes or selected abnormalities within the chest and help guide tissue sampling when medically appropriate.
Pleuroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure used to examine the pleural space surrounding the lungs. Dr. Chaitanya Sravanthi has experience with pleuroscopy as part of interventional pulmonology. It may be recommended for selected patients with unexplained pleural fluid or other pleural abnormalities requiring direct assessment or tissue sampling.
Thoracentesis is a procedure used to remove fluid from the pleural space through a needle or catheter. It can help relieve symptoms or obtain a sample for diagnostic testing. Dr. Chaitanya Sravanthi has documented expertise in thoracentesis, with the decision to perform it based on clinical findings and appropriate imaging.
Intercostal chest drainage involves placing a tube through the chest wall to remove excess air or fluid from the pleural cavity. Dr. Chaitanya Sravanthi has experience with intercostal drainage tube procedures. Chest drainage may be required for selected cases of pneumothorax, pleural effusion or other clinically significant pleural conditions.
Pleural diseases affect the membranes surrounding the lungs and may cause chest pain, breathing difficulties or fluid accumulation. Dr. Chaitanya Sravanthi has expertise in interventional pleural procedures, including thoracentesis, pleuroscopy and drainage tube insertion. Evaluation helps identify the underlying condition and determine whether medical or procedural treatment is appropriate.
Pulmonary function testing measures different aspects of lung function and can help evaluate respiratory conditions such as asthma, COPD and selected interstitial lung diseases. Dr. Chaitanya Sravanthi's respiratory medicine practice includes assessment of patients for whom lung function testing may be relevant. The specific tests required depend on symptoms and clinical findings.
Polysomnography is a sleep study used to record breathing, oxygen levels and other physiological measurements during sleep. Dr. Chaitanya Sravanthi has a documented clinical interest in polysomnography. Sleep-related respiratory assessment may help investigate suspected obstructive sleep apnoea and other conditions affecting breathing during sleep.
Respiratory allergies may cause symptoms such as sneezing, wheezing, coughing and nasal congestion. Dr. Chaitanya Sravanthi has an interest in respiratory allergen testing and immunotherapy. Clinical assessment may help identify suspected allergic triggers and determine whether medication, environmental measures or specialist allergy treatment should be considered.
Pulmonary rehabilitation is a structured programme that may combine exercise training, education and breathing-related support for people with chronic lung disease. Dr. Chaitanya Sravanthi has a documented interest in pulmonary rehabilitation. It may be recommended for selected patients with COPD or other chronic respiratory conditions to support daily functioning and symptom management.
