Pulmonology

Pulmonology is the branch of medicine that is concerned with lung and respiratory diseases, including prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. By utilizing advanced diagnostic tools and treatment methods, our multidisciplinary team provides high-quality care to patients.

A pulmonologist is trained in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases and conditions involving the lungs and the respiratory tract, particularly pneumonia, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or COPD and lung fibrosis. A pulmonologist uses procedures such as spirometry, bloodwork, chest X-rays, CT scans, bronchoscopies and sleep studies to diagnose chronic lung disease.

Once you have a diagnosis, the best pulmonologist in chennai will create a treatment plan. If you require surgery, that will likely be done by a surgeon who specializes in the heart and lungs. Beyond that, a pulmonologist will use medications, therapies and pulmonary rehabilitation to help you return to wellness.
