Pulmonology is a specialized branch of medicine focused on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases affecting the lungs and respiratory system. This includes conditions such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), pneumonia, tuberculosis, lung cancer, and sleep-related breathing disorders. Pulmonologists are experts in managing both acute and chronic respiratory illnesses and often work closely with other specialists such as cardiologists and thoracic surgeons. They use advanced diagnostic tools like pulmonary function tests, bronchoscopy, and imaging studies to evaluate lung health. In addition to clinical treatment, pulmonology also emphasizes lifestyle management, rehabilitation, and long-term care strategies to improve a patient’s breathing and overall quality of life. This specialty plays a critical role in managing public health issues like smoking-related lung damage and pollution-related conditions. Whether you’re dealing with a persistent cough or a more complex lung disorder, pulmonologists provide the expertise needed for accurate diagnosis and comprehensive care.
Our pulmonology department is experienced in diagnosing and managing a wide variety of lung and respiratory conditions, including:
A chronic condition where airway inflammation leads to wheezing, shortness of breath, and chest tightness, often triggered by allergens or physical activity.
A progressive group of diseases, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, including emphysema and chronic bronchitis, that cause airflow blockage and breathing difficulty.
To ensure accurate diagnosis and effective treatment, our pulmonology department offers a comprehensive range of advanced diagnostic tools and procedures:
These non-invasive tests evaluate how well the lungs are working. They measure lung volume, airflow rate, and gas exchange efficiency. PFTs help diagnose conditions such as asthma, COPD, and restrictive lung diseases, and also assess the effectiveness of ongoing treatment.
Allergy testing identifies respiratory triggers such as pollen, dust mites, mold, and pet dander that may cause or worsen conditions like asthma or allergic rhinitis. Tests may include skin prick testing or blood tests (IgE antibodies) to determine the specific allergens affecting the lungs.
Our pulmonology specialists tailor each treatment plan to the patient’s specific needs:
At Ace Hospital, your initial consultation with a pulmonologist is structured to provide a clear understanding of your respiratory health. Here’s what typically happens during the first visit:

A pulmonologist specializes in diagnosing and treating lung and respiratory system disorders such as asthma, COPD, and infections.
Asthma is typically triggered by allergens and is reversible, while COPD is progressive and usually caused by long-term exposure to irritants like smoking.
Some lung conditions like infections can be cured, while chronic diseases like COPD and asthma can be managed effectively with proper treatment.
It helps assess how well your lungs are working and is used to diagnose conditions like asthma, COPD, and other breathing issues.
It allows doctors to view the airways and collect samples to diagnose infections, tumors, or blockages.
Quitting smoking, avoiding pollution, staying physically active, and following prescribed medications can significantly improve lung function.
With a team of most qualified doctors, Ace Hospital, assures your health in the right hands.
