Preventive health includes measures that can be taken to protect lung health: proper vaccination, management of chronic diseases, psychological support, avoiding smoking and tobacco products, regular sleep, and immune support.
COPD is a preventable and treatable disease. With early diagnosis, appropriate treatment, and pulmonary rehabilitation, the course of the disease can be altered. In recent years, the BALLOON PROCEDURE, which has achieved successful results in the chronic bronchitis subtype, is a promising method that strengthens patients' fight against the disease.
The diagnosis and treatment of allergies are crucial from childhood to adulthood, as allergies can affect multiple systems. Allergy testing (skin and blood tests) and the identification and cleaning of allergens in domestic living spaces are of paramount importance. Additionally, the diagnosis and management of asthma constitute a significant component of this process, emphasizing the integrated approach required for effective control and treatment of these conditions.
Respiratory tract infections can pose serious risks in groups with weakened immune systems. These infections include tuberculosis, avian flu (H5N1, H7N7), influenza A/B, swine flu (H1N1), MERS-CoV, COVID-19, and Legionnaires' disease (air conditioning disease).
Lung connective tissue diseases often manifest with shortness of breath and include pulmonary fibrosis, sarcoidosis, connective tissue diseases (SLE, RA, Sjögren's Disease), and drug reactions. The follow-up of patients is conducted through a planned approach involving various tests.
Lung cancer accounts for 12-16% of all cancers and is responsible for 17-28% of cancer-related deaths. Early diagnosis, treatment, and psychological support are crucial. Thoracentesis can be used to drain fluid from the lungs. During treatment, airway patency can be maintained through bronchoscopic procedures (argon, cryotherapy, stent application).
