Pulmonologists are specialists in the respiratory system who
diagnose, assist and treat patients with diseases such as pneumonia, tuberculosis,
asthma, and chest-related issues. Under certain circumstances, pulmonologists may
move a patient to artificial life support systems when their respiratory system
fails to function effectively and also coordinate with cardiothoracic surgeons for
complicated issues.
Pulmonology refers to the branch of medical sciences that deal with
diagnosing and treating diseases of the respiratory tract. The human body
relies on a healthy, continuously functioning respiratory tract to support
bodily functions. If it suffers any medical complications, the health of the
entire body is adversely affected.
