Pneumonia Treatment in Başarı Hastanesi
About the clinic
Başarı Hastanesi in Gaziosmanpaşa, Istanbul, Turkey, diagnoses and treats community-acquired and hospital-acquired pneumonia. Its pulmonology department works with an ISO 9001:2015-certified hospital and an 18-bed adult intensive care unit.
Pneumonia tests
Testing can help confirm pneumonia, assess oxygen levels, and identify the infection or its complications.
- Physical examination: A doctor listens to the lungs for crackles or unusual breathing sounds.
- Blood tests: These check for infection and can help identify its cause.
- Chest X-ray: Imaging confirms pneumonia and shows how far it has spread.
- Pulse oximetry: This measures the blood’s oxygen level.
- Sputum test: A mucus sample is analysed to look for the infection’s cause.
- Chest CT scan: The 16-slice CT provides detailed lung images, including for slow recovery or hospital-treated cases.
- Pleural fluid culture: A needle sample of fluid around the lungs can help identify the infection.
- Bronchoscopy: A thin camera examines the airways. The team can take fluid samples or a small lung tissue sample.
- Spirometry: This respiratory function test measures how well the lungs work.
Pneumonia treatment and hospital care
- Antibiotic therapy: For bacterial pneumonia, the regimen is selected for the pneumonia type and adjusted if symptoms do not improve.
- Cough medicine: Medicine can soothe coughing and help loosen and clear lung fluid.
- Fever and pain relief: Antipyretics or analgesics may be used as needed for fever and discomfort.
- Inpatient care: Hospital treatment may be needed for severe symptoms, low blood pressure, confusion, rapid breathing, or reduced kidney function.
- Adult intensive care: The 18-bed, third-level adult ICU provides ventilator support for severe pneumonia and respiratory failure.
Procedures for pneumonia complications
- Pleural fluid drainage: Thoracentesis, a Pleurocan catheter, or tube thoracostomy can drain fluid around the lungs.
- VATS: Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery is a closed, minimally invasive chest procedure for lung and pleural complications.
Patients can request an online consultation through Bookimed to discuss pneumonia assessment and care at the hospital.
