Pulmonology and critical care lead the management of acute and chronic respiratory illnesses. Ventilatory support, oxygen therapy, and pulmonary rehabilitation from internists and critical care specialists improve patient outcomes for diseases such as COPD, asthma, and interstitial lung disease.

New technology, such as high-flow oxygen systems, non-invasive ventilation, and digital monitoring devices, enable clinicians to closely monitor respiratory function and quickly respond to exacerbations. Early intervention mitigates complications and reduces hospital lengths of stay.

Combining critical care guidelines with patient-focused strategies provides total management of acute respiratory diseases. Ongoing research and advancements in pulmonology are enhancing survival rates and long-term quality of life for patients with respiratory disease.
