This section combines
pulmonary and critical care medicine and
it offers care for acute and chronic
pulmonary disorders. The pulmonary
service evaluates patients with sleep
apnea, asthma, chronic bronchitis,
emphysema, lung disease and lung cancer,
as well as patients with a cough.
Patients may be evaluated in the clinic
as outpatients or during a hospital
stay. Pulmonary diagnostic laboratory
staff can measure lung function and
offer exercise testing and stimulation
of the lower respiratory tract. We take
care of critically ill patients,
including care of patients with
multi-system disease and organ failure
and management of sepsis and shock.
