Pulmonology
Pulmonology focuses on diseases of the lungs and respiratory system, from obstructive airway diseases to critical care pulmonology.
Table of Contents
- Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS, Berlin criteria, lung-protective ventilation, prone positioning)
- Asthma (airway hyperresponsiveness, GINA stepwise therapy)
- Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD, GOLD classification, bronchodilators)
- Cystic Fibrosis (CFTR mutations, CFTR modulators, pancreatic insufficiency)
- Influenza (seasonal flu, antiviral therapy)
- Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD, IPF, antifibrotic therapy, HRCT patterns)
- Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA, AHI scoring, CPAP, hypoglossal nerve stimulation)
- Pleural Effusion (transudative vs exudative, Light's criteria, thoracentesis)
- Pneumonia (CAP, HAP, VAP, empiric antibiotic selection)
- Pulmonary Embolism (Wells criteria, CT angiography, anticoagulation, PESI score)
- Pulmonary Hypertension (WHO groups I-V, right heart catheterization, vasodilators)
- Sarcoidosis (non-caseating granulomas, bilateral hilar lymphadenopathy, corticosteroids)
