Pulmonary Emergencies

Pulmonary emergencies involve sudden health issues affecting the lungs and breathing. Common examples include severe asthma attacks, pneumonia, blood clots in the lungs (pulmonary embolism), or respiratory failure, where the lungs can't provide enough oxygen to the body. Symptoms may include difficulty breathing, chest pain, or coughing up blood. These conditions can lead to serious complications if not treated promptly. Emergency medical care aims to relieve symptoms, restore normal breathing, and address the underlying cause, ensuring the patient receives the necessary support for recovery.
