Respiratory Disease Management:

Respiratory disease management encompasses a comprehensive approach to diagnosing, treating, and monitoring diseases that affect the lungs and respiratory system.

...

Diagnosis of Peripheral Pulmonary Lesions:

A multi-faceted approach is needed to diagnose peripheral pulmonary lesions accurately. Various diagnostic tools and techniques are utilised to identify and characterise lesions in the lungs' outer regions.

...

Tuberculosis (TB) management:

TB requires prompt diagnosis, appropriate treatment, public health measures, effectiveness, and adherence monitoring. It can be challenging due to the need for long-term treatment, drug resistance risk, and addressing public health concerns.

...

Critical care medicine:

Pulmonary Critical Care combines pulmonology and critical care for life-threatening respiratory diseases. It's essential for treating patients with acute or chronic respiratory failure, severe pneumonia, ARDS, COPD exacerbations, pulmonary embolism, and other conditions.

...

ARDS Management:

Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) is a severe, life-threatening condition characterised by the rapid onset of widespread inflammation in the lungs, leading to acute hypoxemic respiratory failure. Management of ARDS requires a multidisciplinary approach focused on supportive care and addressing the underlying cause.

...

Respiratory Medical Oncology management:

Respiratory Medical Oncology is a specialised field focusing on the diagnosis, treatment, and management of cancers affecting the respiratory system, primarily lung cancer but also including cancers of the trachea, bronchi, and pleura.

...

Interstitial Lung Diseases management:

Interstitial Lung Diseases (ILDs) represent a diverse group of pulmonary disorders that affect the interstitium, the tissue and space around the air sacs (alveoli) of the lungs. 

...

Tracheal stenosis treatment:

Tracheal stenosis treatment involves several therapy options. Treatment choice depends on the tracheal narrowing's aetiology, location, and severity. Surgery is typically used for treating tracheal stenosis. The following methods are used for tracheal stenosis treatment - , Tracheal resection and reconstruction, Tracheal laser surgery, Tracheal dilation, Tracheobronchial airway stent

...

Palliative/End of Life Care-Chronic Respiratory Diseases management:

Palliative and end-of-life care for patients with chronic respiratory diseases focuses on improving quality of life, managing symptoms, and supporting patients and their families as they navigate the complexities of advanced illness.

...

Advanced Endoscopy Services:

Advanced endoscopy services in pulmonology are crucial for diagnosing, staging, and sometimes treating lung diseases. These procedures allow pulmonologists to visualise the airways, lungs, and pleural space with great detail.

...

Cryobiopsy & APC

Cryobiopsy is a technique used in medical diagnostics and treatment, notably within pulmonology, to obtain tissue samples for histopathological examination. It involves using a cryoprobe—a device that rapidly freezes the tissue at the biopsy site. This method is particularly useful for diagnosing various lung diseases.

...

Thoracentesis or pleural tapping:

Thoracentesis is a procedure in which a needle removes excess fluid from the pleural space around the lungs. It is done for both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes.  

...

Thoracoscopy and biopsy

Thoracoscopy is a test used to examine the space between your lung and chest wall; the space is known as the pleural cavity. The doctor makes use of a flexible tube with a light and camera fixed to it, referred to as a thoracoscope. They use the collected samples for biopsy purposes.

...

Bronchoscopy

During a bronchoscopy, a medical professional can examine your lungs. It makes use of a bronchoscope, a small, lighted tube.

...

Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL):

Sometimes a bronchoscopy includes a procedure called bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL). Bronchoalveolar washing is another term for it. The BAL is used to take a lung sample for analysis.

...

Foreign body removal:

Foreign body removal in pulmonology refers to the procedure of extracting objects or substances that have inadvertently entered a patient's airway or respiratory tract and are causing blockages or other complications.

...

Rigid bronchoscopy

It is an invasive procedure used to diagnose and treat lung disorders by visualising the oropharynx, larynx, vocal cords, and tracheobronchial tree.

...

Endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS)-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (TBNA):

It is a procedure that uses a specialised telescope to view inside the airways. Additionally, it utilises ultrasound technology to enable doctors to gather tissue samples just outside the lungs.

...

Polysomnography (sleep study):

Polysomnography is a sleep study that is used to diagnose sleep disorders. During the test, certain body functions are recorded as you sleep or try to sleep.

...

Airway stenting:

Tracheobronchial prostheses, another name for airway stents, are hollow-lumen, tube-shaped devices that are placed into an airway. Large airway illnesses can be treated with them, and they are typically inserted bronchoscopically.
