What do pulmonologists do?
Pulmonology is the branch of medicine dealing with diseases of the lungs and respiratory system. Pulmonologists diagnose and treat conditions such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), pneumonia, tuberculosis, and complex chest infections. They also manage patients who require life support and mechanical ventilation. Pulmonologists aim to improve patients’ ability to breathe and manage chronic respiratory issues. Treatment may include medication, lifestyle modifications, and pulmonary rehabilitation.
