How Can a Respirologist
Near Me Help?

Respirology, often referred to as ‘pulmonology’, is a subspecialty of internal medicine that provides comprehensive clinical care for a full range of respiratory problems. Respirology is also related to intensive care medicine.

The medical doctors who specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases and conditions related to the chest such as asthma, COPD, emphysema, pneumonia, tuberculosis, and other chest infections, are called ‘Pulmonologists’ or ‘Respirologists’.

A Respirologist will perform procedures such as bronchoscopy to diagnose a problem related to the respiratory tract. Physicians who specialize in this subspeciality are often trained to manage critical patients who need life support or assisted ventilation.
