Pulmonary medicine addresses lung conditions, including tumors, interstitial disorders and occupational disease. Some of the common illnesses treated by our pulmonary medicine physicians include:
Treatment for pulmonary conditions can include medication, pulmonary rehabilitation and, in some cases, surgery.
Pulmonologists frequently partner with Mount Nittany Medical Center's radiology department for X-rays to diagnose tumors, structural abnormalities and infectious processes.
Pulmonary function testing is a common diagnostic tool. It involves a patient sitting inside a special chamber, where they breathe normally, take deep breaths and breathe out as fully as possible. A device called a spirometer can be used to test for conditions such as asthma.
Additionally, Mount Nittany Health's sleep labs are overseen by the pulmonary medicine department.
