Respiratory medicine

Respiratory medicine focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of disorders affecting the respiratory system. Specialized in pulmonology, respiratory physicians address conditions like asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), pneumonia, and lung cancer. They utilize diagnostic tools such as pulmonary function tests, imaging, and bronchoscopy. Treatment approaches include medication, pulmonary rehabilitation, and, in advanced cases, lung transplantation. It plays a crucial role in managing respiratory health, promoting lung function, and improving patients' quality of life. Ongoing research in this field aims to advance therapeutic options and enhance the understanding of respiratory diseases. Respiratory System Anatomy and Physiology
