Pulmonology

Pulmonology is a medical speciality that deals with diseases involving the respiratory tract.〔(ACP: Pulmonology: Internal Medicine Subspecialty ). Acponline.org. Retrieved on 2011-09-30.〕 The term is derived from the Latin word ''pulmō, pulmōnis'' ("lung") and the Greek , ''-logia''. Pulmonology is synonymous with pneumology (from the Greek πνεύμων ("lung") and , ''-logia''), respirology and respiratory medicine.
Pulmonology is known as chest medicine and respiratory medicine in some countries and areas. ''Pulmonology'' is considered a branch of internal medicine, and is related to intensive care medicine. Pulmonology often involves managing patients who need life support and mechanical ventilation. Pulmonologists are specially trained in diseases and conditions of the chest, particularly pneumonia, asthma, tuberculosis, emphysema, and complicated chest infections.
== Variations in nomenclature ==
In the United Kingdom, Ireland, South Africa, and Australia the term "respiratory physician" is used (rather than pulmonologist) to distinguish a physician that practices pulmonology. In Canada, respirology and respirologist are used. Surgery of the respiratory tract is generally performed by specialists in cardiothoracic surgery (or thoracic surgery), though minor procedures may be performed by pulmonologists. As mentioned above, 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. There are fellowship programs that allow physicians to become board certified in pulmonary and critical care medicine simultaneously. Interventional pulmonology is a relatively new field within pulmonary medicine that deals with the use of procedures such as bronchoscopy to treat several pulmonary diseases. Interventional pulmonology is yet widely recognized as a specific medical specialty.
