Clinical Pulmonology

Clinical pulmonology is a medical specialty that focuses on diagnosing and treating diseases affecting the lungs and respiratory system. Pulmonologists, or lung specialists, manage conditions such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), pneumonia, and lung cancer. They use various tools and techniques, including imaging tests, lung function tests, and bronchoscopy, to evaluate patients. Treatment may involve medication, inhalers, lifestyle changes, or sometimes surgical interventions. Overall, clinical pulmonology plays a crucial role in improving respiratory health and enhancing the quality of life for patients with lung-related illnesses.
