Chronic respiratory diseases, such as COPD and severe asthma, are major causes of morbidity in internal medicine. Internists treat with pharmacotherapy, inhaler therapies, and oxygen supplementation to stabilize and enhance lung function.
Pulmonary rehabilitation, lifestyle modification, and patient education supplement medical care, empowering the patient to control symptoms in an efficient manner. Digital tools and remote monitoring facilitate the early detection of exacerbations.
Through blending of evidence-based therapy with holistic treatment, internal medicine improves respiratory quality of life and health. Ongoing research legitimizes novel approaches to chronic respiratory disease treatment.
