It plays a critical role in ensuring the body receives sufficient oxygen and effectively removes carbon dioxide, managing everything from common coughs to complex respiratory failures.

Conditions Treated by Pulmonologists

A pulmonologist is trained to handle a wide range of respiratory and chest conditions, including:

• Asthma: Chronic inflammation of the airways causing wheezing and breathlessness.
• COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease): Long-term lung damage, often due to smoking or pollution (Emphysema/Chronic Bronchitis).
• Infections: Pneumonia, Tuberculosis (TB), and severe bronchitis.
• Sleep Disorders: Obstructive Sleep Apnea (snoring and breathing pauses during sleep).
• Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD): Scarring of lung tissue (Fibrosis).
• Pleural Diseases: Fluid accumulation around the lungs (Pleural Effusion).
• Allergies: Seasonal respiratory allergies and allergic rhinitis.

Preventive Healthcare and Lung Wellness

Healthy lungs are vital for an active life. Pulmonology emphasizes preventive care through Smoking Cessation counseling, vaccination programs (Flu and Pneumococcal vaccines), and education on minimizing exposure to environmental pollutants and allergens to prevent long-term lung damage.

Advanced Diagnosis and Treatment

Pulmonology specialists use advanced diagnostic tools to assess lung function accurately. Key tools include Pulmonary Function Tests (PFT/Spirometry), Bronchoscopy (viewing airways with a camera), Sleep Studies (Polysomnography), and High-Resolution CT Scans. Treatments range from inhaler therapy and nebulization to advanced oxygen therapy and pulmonary rehabilitation.

Emergency and Acute Care Services

Breathing difficulties constitute a medical emergency. For acute conditions like severe asthma attacks, respiratory failure (low oxygen levels), pneumonia, or pneumothorax (collapsed lung), immediate intervention is critical. Our team provides rapid care, often supported by ICU facilities, to stabilize breathing and support oxygenation.

Chronic Disease Management

Long-term conditions like COPD, Asthma, and Pulmonary Fibrosis require lifelong management. Our team ensures comprehensive care with a focus on inhaler technique training, pulmonary rehabilitation exercises, oxygen therapy management, and regular monitoring to prevent flare-ups and hospitalizations.
