Critical care pulmonology

Critical care pulmonology is a specialized field of medicine focused on diagnosing and treating severe respiratory conditions in critically ill patients. Pulmonologists, or lung specialists, work in intensive care units (ICUs) to manage complex issues like severe pneumonia, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), and ventilation support. They use advanced technologies, such as mechanical ventilators, to help patients breathe. Their goal is to stabilize respiratory function, promote recovery, and collaborate with other healthcare professionals to provide comprehensive care for those with life-threatening lung problems.
