Pulmonology
- A wide range of X-ray, spirographic, instrumental (including bronchoscopy) and laboratory tests for the diagnosis of lung diseases
- Computed tomography of the lungs is performed around the clock
- Experienced bronchologist endoscopists
- Treatment in accordance with international and Russian protocols includes modern methods of drug and non-drug therapy (including physiotherapy treatment)
- Multidisciplinary approach to diagnosis and treatment within a multidisciplinary medical center
Pulmonology is a branch of medicine dedicated to the diagnosis and treatment of lung and respiratory tract diseases. Pulmonologist is a therapeutic specialty. If necessary, surgical intervention is performed by thoracic surgeons.
A pulmonologist is a doctor who treats a wide range of diseases, such as:
- Bronchial asthma
- Chronic bronchitis
- COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease)
- Pneumonia
- Bronchiectasis
- Interstitial diseases
When is a pulmonologist's consultation required?
The most common symptoms that may indicate diseases of the lungs and respiratory tract are coughing, wheezing and wheezing in the chest, shortness of breath. However, these symptoms are non-specific, and may indicate other diseases. So, according to statistics, the pathologies of the nose are in the first place for the causes of cough, the stomach is in the second, and only lung diseases are in the third.
That is why, if such symptoms occur, we recommend first contacting general practitioners (GP), who will conduct the necessary examinations, and if pulmonary pathologies are suspected, they will recommend making an appointment with an EMC pulmonologist (admission is paid).
Diagnosis (Admission of a pulmonologist to EMC)
The appointment of a pulmonologist includes the diagnosis. The EMC offers a wide range of X-ray, spirographic, instrumental (including bronchoscopy) and laboratory tests for the diagnosis of lung diseases. Computed tomography (CT) of the lungs is performed around the clock in clinics. The EMC includes its own clinical diagnostic and histological laboratories, which allows conducting research in a short time and obtaining accurate results. The EMC employs highly qualified bronchological endoscopists.Lung diseases - treatment features in EMC
Treatment with an EMC pulmonologist is carried out in accordance with international and Russian protocols and includes modern methods of drug and non-drug therapy (including physiotherapy). The best pulmonologists in Moscow are receiving appointments at the EMC. A multidisciplinary approach within a multidisciplinary medical center allows for effective treatment even in the most difficult cases. If necessary, an allergist is involved in making decisions about patient management tactics.
Risk factors and prevention of lung diseases
It's no secret that smoking and being overweight negatively affect the lungs and respiratory tract, so it's fair to say that in many cases, patients themselves provoke the development of lung diseases. In addition, we should not forget about the ecological situation in which we live. In addition, there are a number of hereditary, genetic factors. That is why timely and accurate diagnosis plays a key role in pulmonology.
EMC specialists recommend annual fluorography/low-dose CT of the lungs for early diagnosis and exclusion of diseases such as tuberculosis and lung tumors.
