DEPARTMENTAL INFORMATION:
Jabatan
Perubatan Respiratori (The Department of Respiratory
Medicine) provides the full range of respiratory services
for inpatient and outpatient care. It is located at Complex
C on the hill side of the hospital. As part of our policy,
patients with suspected lung cancers will be seen as a
matter of urgency and given high priority. General medicine
is also practised within the department. Our ON-CALL ROSTER can be viewed here.
It is one
of the training centres for Master in Internal Medicine(MMed), MRCP and
Fellowship
in respiratory medicine in Malaysia. We can
consider accepting overseas respiratory physicians who wish
to do short or long-term clinical attachments with us.
Overseas Post-graduate doctors who are interested to
complete their final year Fellowship at our department are
also welcome to apply.
The
department comprises 34 beds and incorporates a
bronchoscopy/pleuroscopy suite and a High Dependency Unit
for the management of patients with respiratory failure
requiring non-invasive ventilation (e.g. Bi-PAP and
CPAP).
We have
the highest workload for interventional pulmonology in
Malaysia. We also perform a high number of procedures in the
pulmonary physiology and sleep medicine units making us one
of the busiest subspecialities in internal medicine.
Currently, we are the few internal medicine specialists in
Malaysia who perform procedures under general anaesthesia
regularly.
Interventional pulmonology procedures
undertaken within the Department include rigid bronchoscopy, YAP laser, argon plasma coagulation (APC), cryotherapy, transbronchial needle aspiration (TBNA), airway stenting, pleuroscopy and autofluorescence bronchoscopy.
We are also involved in pulmonary
rehabilitation, respiratory research, clinical trials and
anti-smoking services.
