Pulmonology is a branch of medicine that specializes in diagnosing and treating diseases of the lungs and respiratory system. The document lists common pulmonary conditions like lower respiratory infections, pneumonia, COPD, and asthma. It also mentions rare conditions like pulmonary embolism and lung cancer. Detection tests in pulmonology include pulmonary function tests, chest X-rays, bronchial challenge tests, and arterial blood gases. Vaccines to prevent respiratory diseases include influenza, pneumococcal, Tdap, zoster, and SARS CoV vaccines. Commonly used drugs in pulmonology are listed, including inhalers, respules, and medications for conditions like bronchitis and pneumonia.
