Respiratory Failure & COPD Exacerbation Care in Solapur

Breathing is life. When lungs fail to deliver oxygen, only timely ICU care can save it.

At Yashodhara Super Speciality Hospital, Solapur, Dr Vinod Ban, an expert in Pulmonary & Critical Care Medicine, manages patients with respiratory failure, asthma, and COPD exacerbations using modern ventilator techniques and evidence-based protocols.

1️⃣ Pneumonia & ARDS

Treatment of infection-induced lung injury with antibiotics, prone ventilation, and lung-protective strategies.

2️⃣ Asthma & COPD Exacerbations

Early nebulization, steroids, oxygen therapy and non-invasive ventilation to avoid intubation.

3️⃣ Tension Pneumothorax

Emergency needle decompression and intercostal tube insertion under ultrasound guidance.

4️⃣ Pleural Effusion

Ultrasound-guided pleural tapping for diagnosis and relief of breathing difficulty.

5️⃣ Drug-Induced Lung Disease

Early identification through imaging and withdrawal of causative medication.

Understanding Respiratory Failure

Respiratory failure occurs when lungs cannot supply enough oxygen or remove carbon dioxide. It can develop suddenly (Acute Type 1) or gradually in chronic lung diseases like COPD (Type 2).

Common Causes

  • Severe COPD flare-ups
  • Asthma attack not responding to inhalers
  • Pneumonia or COVID-related lung damage
  • Pulmonary embolism (blood clot in lungs)
  • Neuromuscular disorders affecting breathing
  • Chest injuries or surgery complications

Symptoms to Watch

  • Shortness of breath even at rest
  • Bluish lips or fingertips
  • Rapid breathing and fatigue
  • Confusion or restlessness
  • Low oxygen saturation on pulse oximeter
  • Dr Vinod Ban’s Treatment Approach
1. Immediate Oxygen & ICU Monitoring

Patient shifted to ICU for oxygen therapy and ABG analysis to determine severity.

2. Non-Invasive Ventilation (NIV)

Early use of BiPAP or CPAP to improve oxygen levels and reduce intubation requirement.

3. Invasive Ventilation for Severe Cases

If oxygen drops dangerously, Dr Ban initiates mechanical ventilation using lung-protective strategies and prone position therapy.

4. Medication Protocol
  • Bronchodilators and nebulization
  • Steroids to reduce inflammation
  • Antibiotics for infection control
  • Mucolytics to clear airways
5. Rehabilitation & Weaning

Gradual weaning off ventilator followed by breathing exercises and physiotherapy.
