Hospitals for cashless lung decortication under PMJAY?

Dear Sandeep Sharma Ji,

Empyema thoracis is a condition where pus collects in the space between your lung and chest wall (pleural cavity), often as a complication of infection like TB. Lung decortication is a surgical procedure to remove the thick, fibrous layer that forms around the lung due to this infection, allowing the lung to expand properly and function better. I understand your patient needs assistance with this procedure under the Ayushman Bharat PMJAY cashless scheme.

Understanding Empyema Thoracis and Lung Decortication

Typical Symptoms of Empyema Thoracis:

• Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
• Chest pain, especially when breathing deeply
• Persistent cough, sometimes with phlegm
• Fever and chills
• Fatigue and general weakness

Treatment: Lung Decortication

• Lung decortication is a surgical procedure performed by a Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgeon (CTVS).
• It involves removing the thickened, infected lining (peel) from the lung and the inner chest wall.
• This procedure helps the lung re-expand, improves breathing, and removes the source of infection.
• Given your patient's history of TB and ICD, decortication is a crucial step for recovery.
