Pulmonary Medicine deals with diagnosis and treatment of lung diseases. In cases where surgery is required, it is worked together with thoracic surgery. The main examinations and methods used in this departmentare:
- Blood tests: Many different blood tests are performed in the diagnosis and treatment of all types of lung diseases.
- Pulmonary Function Tests: It helps to examine the mechanical function of the chest wall, lungs, airways, and respiratory muscles by breathing deeply with a special instrument called spirometry. On the other hand, it helps the diagnosis and treatment of obstructive diseases of the lung, chest diseases, asthma, and COPD. It also gives information about whether the lung capacity of the air inhaled and exhaled is sufficient before the operation.
- Bronchoscopy: The upper respiratory tract, vocal cords, windpipe, and bronchi up to a certain width are directly viewed and the disease conditions are evaluated by entering through the nose or mouth with an elastic thin tube-like instrument with a camera at the end called a bronchoscope. When necessary, a biopsy can be taken from suspicious tissues with the instrument. Sputum or bronchial washing samples can be taken. This tool, which is generally used in the diagnosis of lung cancers and infections, can sometimes be used for therapeutic purposes such as cleaning sputum plugs, removing foreign bodies that have escaped into the bronchus, and enlarging narrowed bronchial parts.
