Specializations and Expertise:

  • Pulmonology is a medical specialty focused on diagnosing, treating, and managing diseases and conditions affecting the respiratory system, including the lungs, airways, and respiratory muscles. Pulmonologists treat conditions such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), pneumonia, tuberculosis, lung cancer, pulmonary fibrosis, and sleep apnea. They use diagnostic tools like pulmonary function tests, chest X-rays, CT scans, and bronchoscopy to assess lung health and provide treatment, which may include medications, oxygen therapy, or surgical interventions. Pulmonology often overlaps with critical care medicine, especially in managing patients with severe respiratory disorders in intensive care units.
