What is Pulmonology?
Pulmonologists care for people with acute and chronic lung conditions. In the ICU, they care for patients who need advanced life support and mechanical ventilation. In the clinic, they diagnose and treat a range of respiratory issues, including shortness of breath, asthma, COPD, emphysema, sleep issues and interstitial lung disease. Pulmonary function studies and procedures such as bronchoscopies and scopes of the lungs to diagnose lung disease and lung cancer are also provided by SBL Pulmonology. The physician team collaborates with experts in nearly every specialty to deliver effective, personalized care.
For some relatively short-lasting illnesses that affect your lungs, like the flu or pneumonia, you might be able to get all the care you need from your regular doctor. But if your cough, shortness of breath, or other symptoms don’t get better, you might need to see a pulmonologist. Pulmonologists focus on the respiratory system and diseases that affect it. The respiratory system includes your:
- Mouth and nose
- Sinuses
- Throat (pharynx)
- Voice box (larynx)
- Windpipe (trachea)
- Bronchial tubes
- Lungs and things inside them like bronchioles and alveoli
- Diaphragm
