Pulmonology
Pulmonary medicine is a subspecialty of internal medicine that focuses on the diagnosing and treatment disorders of the respiratory system. Although most common respiratory problems are treated by general internists and other specialty physicians, internists practicing pulmonary medicine (often referred to as “pulmonologists”) are frequently called upon to help diagnose unknown disorders and assist in managing difficult, unusual, or complicated diseases of the respiratory system.
Pulmonologists have expertise in structural, inflammatory, infectious, and neoplastic disorders of the lungs. Diseases commonly evaluated and treated by pulmonologists include asthma, chronic obstructive lung disease (COPD), emphysema, lung cancer, interstitial and occupational lung diseases, complex lung and pleural infections including tuberculosis, pulmonary hypertension, and cystic fibrosis. Some pulmonologists elect to become board certified in sleep medicine and manage otherfocus on sleep-disordered breathing (such as sleep apnea). These physicians may provide diagnostic and therapeutic services in a sleep center.
