pulmonologists
Pulmonologists are medical doctors specializing in diagnosing and treating conditions related to the lungs and respiratory system. They manage illnesses such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), pneumonia, and lung infections. They also evaluate breathing issues, perform tests like lung function tests, and may assist in managing advanced respiratory problems, including those requiring ventilators or oxygen therapy. Pulmonologists often collaborate with other healthcare providers to improve lung health, prevent respiratory diseases, and conduct research to better understand respiratory conditions. Their expertise helps patients breathe more comfortably and maintain overall respiratory well-being.
