Pulmonology specialists diagnose and treat various respiratory conditions, including common ones like asthma, lung infections, and COPD. Interventional pulmonology, on the other hand, emphasises precise interventions such as bronchoscopy and endobronchial ultrasound.
Additionally, Sleep medicine addresses sleep-related disorders, from sleep apnea to insomnia, crucial for maintaining good sleep health. Although distinct, these fields often collaborate when respiratory issues, like sleep apnea affecting breathing, require medical intervention. Together, they contribute to individuals' well-being by managing respiratory health and improving sleep quality.
