Over view of Pulmonology
The lungs, trachea, bronchi, and diaphragm are among the vital components that make up the respiratory system. Pulmonologists make sure these components work properly to enable effective gas exchange, bloodstream oxygen supply, and airflow. Asthma, COPD, lung infections, tuberculosis, interstitial lung disease, and cystic fibrosis are just a few of the many respiratory conditions they treat.
In addition to diagnosing and treating sleep-related respiratory disorders including sleep apnea, many pulmonologists also practice sleep medicine. Pulmonologists are essential in maintaining and improving patients' quality of life in both acute care settings, such as intensive care units (ICUs) for respiratory failure, and outpatient settings for managing chronic diseases.
