Information for Physicians
We at The Lung Center are committed to providing you with the latest knowledge of highest quality care and most advanced treatments available in the advancing field of Pulmonary Critical care and Sleep Medicine.
The page has been divided into TWO sections
- Resources: this section contains guidelines on various diseases/topics concerning the speciality.
- Articles of General Interest: This section contains articles published in indexed journals some time back but still hold their relevance as landmarks.
· Common or overlapping respiratory symptoms of undetermined cause (eg, chronic cough, shortness of breath, and wheezing)
· Lung disorders that may be masked by, or complicating, other disorders (eg, bronchiectasis, asthma, acute bronchitis, infection)
· Patients who are refractory to or cannot tolerate standard therapy (eg, asthma, long-standing or recurrent pneumonia)
· Unusual clinical or diagnostic presentations
Evaluation of these patients with undefined, treatment-resistant, or otherwise complicated conditions often leads to a more precise diagnosis and improved medical or surgical treatment.
In many cases, once the problem is diagnosed, The Lung Center staff can quickly arrange for the needed care with other clinical specialists, pharmacists, insurance groups, medical device vendors, or pharmaceutical manufacturers. The Lung Center staff also manages the patient education and follow-up that can be critical to good outcomes.
If you have any questions about our research or clinical programs, please do not hesitate to contact us at info@thelungcenter.co.in
