This helps to reduce the patient radiation dosage while screening and also while carrying out various procedures. There is another Portable X-ray Machine to take care of needs of the critically ill patients in ICU/NICU/OT etc.

Latest and best USG machine in its category- facilities available- 2D, 3D, 4D Soonography, Prostate biopsy accessories, cardiac probe for adult and paediatric 2-D echo, elastography.Ultrasound is a type of scanning technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to produce images of structures inside the body.It is also known as sonography or medical sonography.

When it's done:

Ultrasound is recommended depending on the symptoms and for:

•   The assessment of a breast lump
•   The assessment of the foetus inside the uterus during pregnancy
•   The evaluation of the thyroid gland
•   The diagnosis of cancer
•   The diagnosis of infections
•   The diagnosis of a gallbladder disease
•   Assessing abnormalities of muscles and tendons

When to Avoid:

There is no specific condition when this scan should be avoided.

How to prepare:

Most of the times, no special preparation is required and it depends on which area of your body needs to be examined.

 Gallbladder Examination: Avoid eating and drinking for up to 6 hours before the test.

 Pelvic Ultrasound: Drink lots of water and do not urinate before the scan is performed, which allows for the better visualisation of the uterus, ovaries or the prostate. Breast, Abdomen & pelvis, Obstetrics, Neuro ,Thyroid ,Chest ,Scrotum ,Follicular ,Small parts.

A Color Doppler test uses reflected sound waves to see how blood flows through a blood vessel. It helps to evaluate blood flow through major arteries and veins, such as those of the arms, legs, and neck. It can show blocked or reduced blood flow through narrowing in the major arteries of the neck that could cause a stroke. It also can reveal blood clots in leg veins (DVT; deep vein thrombosis) that could break loose and block blood flow to the lungs (pulmonary embolism). During pregnancy, Doppler ultrasound may be used to look at blood flow in an unborn baby (fetus) to check the health of the fetus.

During Doppler ultrasound, a transducer is passed lightly over the skin above a blood vessel. The transducer sends and receives sound waves that can be processed by a computer to provide pictures that represent the flow of blood through the blood vessels. The test is extremely safe and no precautions are needed.

Cath Lab facilitates in diagnosing and treating heart patient while conducting angiographies, medicated and non- medicated stent and also the necessary ballooning effortlessly and that too within shortest possible time. Angiography is of vital importance for detecting a blockage in the coronary artry, circulating blood in human body and also during cardiac arrest or for the patients suffering from Gangrene, of even to detect the malfunctioning of kidneys. The ailments of such serious nature are treated by using much advanced techniques like angioplasty, stenting or ballooning. A hole in heart is also the cause of serious health hazards for several patients. Generally it is treated by a complicated and time consuming surgery. But in Cathlab the hole in heart can be sealed without operation or admitting the patient for much longer period in the ward for recuperating after this treatment

Our hospitals contain a laboratory to support the clinical services offered at the hospital. Most, if not all, inpatient and many outpatients seen by hospital-affiliated physicians require tests performed by hospital labs.

The unit caters to premature babies with special needs and those born after high risk pregnancies. Babies less than 1 month are cared for this unit. The neonatal intensive care unit is a 5 bed unit with advanced services provided such as ventilation, nitric oxide, surfactant administration, Total parenteral nutrition, phototherapy, Exchange transfusion, therapeutic hypothermia, etc.

Following type of babies are managed in NICU:

• 1. Premature and low birth weight babies.
• 2. Babies with breathing difficulty, pneumonia
• 3. Babies needing surgery
• 4. Any baby needing special care.
• 5. Babies with high jaundice needing phototherapy/exchange transfusion.
• 6. Babies with respiratory distress syndrome needing surfactant administration and ventilation.
• 7. Seizures disorders
• 8. Low blood sugar
• 9. Infections
• 10. Temperature instability
• 11. Assistance with feeding

There are many people involved in the care of babies admitted to the NICU. The specially-trained nursing team is headed by a nurse manager. Each baby will be under the care of a consultant Neonatologist. A member of the neonatology team will visit the baby every day and will be available 24 hours a day.

Our ICU setup is expertly managed by highly qualified Doctors with tender care. The In-charge Doctors daily have a counseling session with the relatives apart from the consulting doctor.

•  ICU consist of 11 bed equipped with central cooling unit
•  Invasive Monitoring System
•  High End Ventilators
•  Multi parameter monitors for every bed

Operation Theater is that specialized facility of the hospital where life saving or life improving procedures are carried out on the human body by invasive methods under strict aseptic conditions in a controlled environment by specially trained personnel to promote healing and cure with maximum safety, comfort and economy We have 3 Operation Theaters – 2 modular OT’s with HEPA and AHU systems, and 1 minor OT The OT”s are equipped with C-arm Machine, Laparoscopy Monitor with 3 CCD Stryker Camera-1188 and Monitor, Harmonics Scalpel.

Stress test is also known as an Exercise test or Treadmill test. It is used widely for the following:

• • Detection of coronary artery disease (CAD)
• • Evaluation of the functional severity of CAD
• • Prediction of cardiovascular events
• • Evaluation of physical capacity and effort tolerance
• • Evaluation of exercise-related symptoms
• • Assessment of chronotropic and inotropic competence and arrhythmias
• • Assessment of the response to medical interventions Understanding the purpose of the individual exercise test allows the physician/cardiologist to determine appropriate methodology and to select test endpoints that maximize test safety and obtain needed diagnostic and prognostic information.

Absolute and Relative Contraindications Absolute and relative contraindications to exercise testing balance the risk of the test with the potential benefit of the information derived from it. Assessment of this balance requires knowledge of the purpose of the test for the individual subject or patient and what symptom or sign endpoints will be for the individual test.

Absolute Contraindications

• • Acute myocardial infarction (MI)
• • Unstable angina
• • Uncontrolled cardiac arrhythmia causing symptoms or hemodynamic compromise
• • Active endocarditis
• • Severe aortic stenosis
• • Decompensated heart failure
• • Acute pulmonary embolism, pulmonary infarction, or deep vein thrombosis
• • Acute myocarditis or pericarditis
• • Acute aortic dissection
• • Physical disability that precludes safe and adequate testing

Relative Contraindications

• • Left main coronary artery stenosis
• • Moderate aortic stenosis
• • Tachyarrhythmias or Bradyarrhythmias
• • High Degree AV block
• • Electrolyte abnormalities
• • Hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy and other forms of outflow tract obstructions
• • Recent stroke or transient ischemic attack
• • Mental impairment with limited ability to co-operate
• • Uncontrolled hypertension
• • Uncorrected medical conditions such as significant anaemia, important electrolyte imbalance and hyperthyroidism

Preparations for testing include the following:

• 1) The purpose of the test should be clear in advance to maximize diagnostic value and ensure safety
• 2) The subject or patient should not eat a heavy meal in the 3 hours leading up to the test. Routine medications may be taken with small amounts of water. Subjects should dress in comfortable clothing and wear comfortable walking shoes or sneakers
• 3) When exercise testing is performed for the diagnosis of ischemia, routine medications may be withheld because some drugs (especially β-blockers) attenuate the HR and blood pressure responses to exercise

How is the test performed?

• 1. A Stress Test is done under the supervision of a trained physician or a cardiologist. After initial screening, history and examination, consent is taken and an appropriate protocol for the test is selected. The technician then preps the subject’s skin and attaches electrodes on his/her chest. These electrodes are attached to an ECG monitor.
• 2. A resting supine standard 12-lead ECG should be obtained before exercise, followed by standing and hyperventilation.
• 3. ECG and heart rate is recorded throughout the test. Blood pressure is also recorded at regular intervals.
• 4. After this, exercise is started on a treadmill with an initial warm-up period (at low workload), followed by progressive graded exercise with increasing loads and an adequate time interval in each level, and a post–maximum effort recovery period which is recorded.
