Pulmonology

Shortness of breath following exercise is normal, and usually nothing to worry about. But when you become breathless with little effort, this may be a sign of a more serious condition, such as asthma, COPD or interstitial lung disease (ILD). Temple’s Pulmonology services offer experienced physicians, and the technology and team you need to help you breathe easier again.

• Asthma

• Bronchitis

• Chronic lung diseases and infections

• COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease)

• Emphysema

• Occupational lung diseases

• Pneumonia

• Pulmonary fibrosis

• Pulmonary hypertension

• Respiratory failure

• Sleep apnea (OSA)

Diseases and conditions of the lungs require advanced diagnostic technology and innovative treatment approaches, including access to clinical trials. Treatment is designed around your specific condition and requirements, and may include:

• Oxygen therapy
• Medication therapy
• Interventional procedures, such as bronchoscopy and surgery

When possible, we offer minimally invasive techniques for faster recovery. Many of our Temple pulmonologists are part of the Temple Lung Center, one of the nation’s largest lung transplant centers.
