    Overview

  • Dr. Srikanta J T is a highly skilled Paediatric Pulmonologist in Yelahanka. He is currently practising as the Lead Consultant – Paediatric Interventional Pulmonology, Allergy and Sleep Medicine at Manipal Hospital Yelahanka, Bangalore, bringing several years of specialised expertise in paediatric pulmonology, interventional airway procedures, paediatric sleep medicine, allergy management, and critical respiratory care for infants, children, and adolescents. With his advanced national and international training, coupled with comprehensive experience in handling complex and rare paediatric respiratory conditions, he is widely recognised as one of the best paediatric pulmonologists in Yelahanka, trusted by families for his diagnostic precision, compassionate care, and multidisciplinary expertise.

  • Dr. Srikanta’s journey in medicine began with his MBBS, followed by a Diploma in Child Health (DCH) and DNB in Paediatrics. His passion for paediatric respiratory sciences led him to pursue a Fellowship in Paediatric Pulmonology and Sleep Medicine from Singapore, where he trained in advanced airway imaging, ventilatory support, diagnostic bronchoscopy, and paediatric lung function assessments. He further acquired specialised training in Interventional Pulmonology from Bangalore as well as internationally from Italy, gaining expertise in flexible and rigid bronchoscopy, transbronchial biopsies, cryobiopsies, EBUS, and advanced diagnostic and therapeutic procedures for paediatric lung and airway disorders.

  • Over the years, Dr. Srikanta has built a strong reputation for his proficiency in managing a wide spectrum of paediatric pulmonary and sleep disorders, including asthma, recurrent pneumonia, bronchiectasis, cystic fibrosis, tuberculosis, congenital airway anomalies, interstitial lung diseases (ILDs), sleep apnoea, snoring disorders, chronic cough, and allergy-related respiratory issues. His expertise also extends to neonatal and paediatric intensive care, addressing acute and chronic lung diseases, mechanical ventilation, technology-dependent children, and post-transplant pulmonary care. His work in paediatric sleep medicine includes diagnosing and managing obstructive sleep apnea, REM and non-REM sleep disorders, narcolepsy, and CPAP/BiPAP titration in children.

  • Dr. Srikanta holds special proficiency in interventional pulmonology, including advanced bronchoscopy, cryotherapy, bronchoalveolar lavage, transbronchial lung cryobiopsy, pleuroscopy, airway clearance therapies, and mediastinal diagnostic procedures. He has successfully managed rare and complex cases such as refractory lipoid pneumonia, autoimmune-related lung disease, congenital lung cysts, and paediatric ILDs, earning recognition within medical communities for his clinical ingenuity.

  • He has contributed significantly to research and academic literature, with multiple international and national publications covering topics like cryobiopsy for paediatric lung diseases, functional lung evaluation, bronchoscopic ultrasound techniques, inherited immunological respiratory disorders, and pulmonary function trends post-transplant. His research projects include genetic analysis of primary ciliary dyskinesia, pulmonary involvement in Trisomy 21, and long-term outcomes of asthma and allergy in children. At Manipal Hospital Yelahanka, he strives to deliver highly personalised, evidence-based, child-friendly respiratory care. He works closely with paediatric intensivists, allergists, neonatologists, immunologists, ENT specialists, and physiotherapists to provide integrated care for children with respiratory and sleep challenges. Families appreciate his calm demeanour, patient education approach, and ability to involve parents in clinical decision-making.

  • He is an active member of the Indian Academy of Paediatrics, the Indian Society of Critical Care Medicine, the National Resuscitation Council of Singapore, and the American Heart Association. His commitment to improving paediatric respiratory outcomes, his leadership in paediatric airway and sleep medicine, and his unwavering compassion for children make him one of the best paediatric pulmonologists in Yelahanka.

  • Dr. Srikanta’s journey in medicine began with his MBBS, followed by a Diploma in Child Health (DCH) and DNB in Paediatrics. His passion for paediatric respiratory sciences led him to pursue a Fellowship in Paediatric Pulmonology and Sleep Medicine from Singapore, where he trained in advanced airway imaging, ventilatory support, diagnostic bronchoscopy, and paediatric lung function assessments. He further acquired specialised training in Interventional Pulmonology from Bangalore as well as internationally from Italy, gaining expertise in flexible and rigid bronchoscopy, transbronchial biopsies, cryobiopsies, EBUS, and advanced diagnostic and therapeutic procedures for paediatric lung and airway disorders.

  • Over the years, Dr. Srikanta has built a strong reputation for his proficiency in managing a wide spectrum of paediatric pulmonary and sleep disorders, including asthma, recurrent pneumonia, bronchiectasis, cystic fibrosis, tuberculosis, congenital airway anomalies, interstitial lung diseases (ILDs), sleep apnoea, snoring disorders, chronic cough, and allergy-related respiratory issues. His expertise also extends to neonatal and paediatric intensive care, addressing acute and chronic lung diseases, mechanical ventilation, technology-dependent children, and post-transplant pulmonary care. His work in paediatric sleep medicine includes diagnosing and managing obstructive sleep apnea, REM and non-REM sleep disorders, narcolepsy, and CPAP/BiPAP titration in children.

  • Dr. Srikanta holds special proficiency in interventional pulmonology, including advanced bronchoscopy, cryotherapy, bronchoalveolar lavage, transbronchial lung cryobiopsy, pleuroscopy, airway clearance therapies, and mediastinal diagnostic procedures. He has successfully managed rare and complex cases such as refractory lipoid pneumonia, autoimmune-related lung disease, congenital lung cysts, and paediatric ILDs, earning recognition within medical communities for his clinical ingenuity.

  • He has contributed significantly to research and academic literature, with multiple international and national publications covering topics like cryobiopsy for paediatric lung diseases, functional lung evaluation, bronchoscopic ultrasound techniques, inherited immunological respiratory disorders, and pulmonary function trends post-transplant. His research projects include genetic analysis of primary ciliary dyskinesia, pulmonary involvement in Trisomy 21, and long-term outcomes of asthma and allergy in children. At Manipal Hospital Yelahanka, he strives to deliver highly personalised, evidence-based, child-friendly respiratory care. He works closely with paediatric intensivists, allergists, neonatologists, immunologists, ENT specialists, and physiotherapists to provide integrated care for children with respiratory and sleep challenges.
