The Sputum C/S Test identifies microorganisms causing respiratory infections and determines their sensitivity to antibiotics.

A sputum sample is collected by coughing up mucus from the lungs, usually in the morning for the best results.

No special preparation is needed, but it is important to follow hygiene practices and inform your healthcare provider of any recent treatments.

Results are generally available within 3 to 5 days, depending on the growth rate of the microorganisms and the complexity of the infection.

Discuss the results with your healthcare provider to determine alternative treatment options based on the sensitivity profile of the identified microorganisms.

Types include inflatable implants, semi-rigid implants, and expandable implants, each offering different levels of control and flexibility.

Bypass surgery, also known as Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG), is a procedure to replace damaged or blocked arteries in the heart with blood vessels from another part of the body.

Patients with severe coronary artery disease, where the arteries are significantly narrowed or blocked, may need bypass surgery to improve blood flow to the heart.

A surgeon takes a healthy blood vessel from your leg, arm, or chest and connects it to the blocked coronary artery, bypassing the blocked section to improve blood flow.

Risks include infection, bleeding, heart attack, stroke, and reactions to anaesthesia, though serious complications are rare.

The surgery typically lasts between 3 to 6 hours, depending on the number of arteries being bypassed and the patient’s condition.
