PulmonologyPulmonology

Pulmonology is the science that specializes in diseases of the lungs and respiratory tract. Physicians specializing in this area are called pulmonologists. Pulmonology is closely related to critical care medicine when dealing with patients that require mechanical ventilation. As a result, many pulmonologists are certified to practice critical care medicine in addition to pulmonary medicine.
