    Overview

  • Dr. Spurthi K is a clinically adept pulmonologist in Mysuru with advanced expertise in both respiratory care and interventional pulmonology procedures. She is currently practising as an Associate Consultant – Pulmonology at Manipal Hospital Mysore, bringing over 5 years of clinical experience in managing a wide spectrum of respiratory conditions through a combination of detailed consultations and procedure-based care. Dr. Spurthi completed her MBBS and MD in Respiratory Medicine from Jagadguru Jayadeva Murugarajendra Medical College, Davanagere, followed by a fellowship in Interventional Pulmonology, where she received focused training in advanced airway and pleural procedures. This structured academic foundation supports her methodical and evidence-based clinical approach.

  • Her clinical approach begins with a comprehensive respiratory evaluation, where she assesses patients presenting with symptoms such as persistent cough, breathlessness, wheezing, chest discomfort, and recurrent lung infections. With a strong foundation in respiratory medicine, she integrates clinical findings with imaging, pulmonary function tests, and laboratory data to establish precise diagnoses. Her ability to connect clinical presentation with procedural planning contributes to her recognition as one of the best pulmonologists in Mysuru for structured and advanced respiratory care.

  • A key strength of Dr. Spurthi’s practice lies in her expertise in interventional pulmonology procedures. She is trained in both diagnostic and therapeutic bronchoscopy, allowing direct visualisation and management of airway pathologies. Her proficiency extends to endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) guided biopsies, both radial and linear, which play a crucial role in diagnosing lung cancers, lymph node diseases, and complex infections. She is also experienced in medical thoracoscopy for pleural diseases, enabling accurate diagnosis and management of pleural effusions and related conditions.

  • In addition, Dr. Spurthi performs advanced procedures such as CBCT-guided biopsies for peripheral lung nodules, cryobiopsies, tumour debulking in cases of airway obstruction, and intercostal pleural catheter (IPC) placement for recurrent pleural effusions. Her training also includes management of central airway obstruction and foreign body removal, reflecting her capability in handling both elective and emergency pulmonary interventions within a hospital setting. These procedural skills are seamlessly integrated into her clinical decision-making, ensuring that patients receive timely and appropriate interventions when indicated.

  • Beyond procedural expertise, she has significant experience in managing chronic respiratory diseases such as COPD, asthma, interstitial lung diseases, and sleep-related breathing disorders. She incorporates pulmonary rehabilitation strategies, non-invasive ventilation (NIV) management, and long-term disease monitoring into her care plans. Her consultations also address infectious diseases like tuberculosis, where she guides patients through diagnostic evaluation and evidence-based treatment pathways.

  • Dr. Spurthi’s academic contributions include multiple publications in peer-reviewed journals on COPD, pulmonary rehabilitation, tuberculosis diagnostics, and sleep apnea. She has presented her work at national platforms and contributed as faculty in specialised workshops, reflecting her continued engagement with advancements in pulmonology.

  • Fluent in Kannada, English, Telugu, and Hindi, she ensures clear and accessible communication with patients from diverse backgrounds. At Manipal Hospital Mysuru, Dr. Spurthi K delivers comprehensive pulmonology care that combines detailed clinical evaluation with advanced procedural expertise, making her a dependable choice for both routine and complex respiratory conditions.
