Matis Hospital provides medical evaluation and treatment for conditions affecting the lungs and respiratory system. Pulmonology focuses on disorders involving the airways, lungs and other structures responsible for breathing, including both acute respiratory problems and long-term lung conditions. Respiratory symptoms can have different underlying causes. Pulmonary evaluation considers the patient's symptoms, medical history, physical examination and appropriate diagnostic investigations to determine the cause and guide treatment.
Pulmonology covers a wide range of respiratory conditions, including:
The appropriate treatment depends on the specific diagnosis, severity of the condition and the patient’s overall health.
Pulmonary assessment may include lung function testing such as spirometry, chest imaging, blood tests or other investigations depending on the patient’s symptoms and clinical condition. Additional tests may be recommended when further evaluation is required.
Treatment may include medicines, inhaled therapies, oxygen support when clinically indicated, pulmonary rehabilitation, lifestyle measures or other appropriate interventions. Some respiratory conditions require regular monitoring and long-term management.
Patients with severe breathing difficulty, rapidly worsening breathlessness, bluish discoloration of the lips or face, confusion or other serious respiratory symptoms should seek urgent medical attention.
