Pediatric pulmonology is a specialized field of medicine focused on diagnosing and treating respiratory disorders in children, from infancy through adolescence. These disorders may include asthma, cystic fibrosis, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, chronic lung disease, and respiratory infections such as pneumonia and bronchiolitis. Pediatric pulmonologists are trained to evaluate and manage a wide range of respiratory conditions in children, utilizing a variety of diagnostic tools such as pulmonary function tests, imaging studies, and bronchoscopy. They work closely with other specialists, including pediatricians, respiratory therapists, and infectious disease specialists, to develop comprehensive treatment plans tailored to each child’s specific condition and needs. Treatment options may include medication management, pulmonary rehabilitation, oxygen therapy, and mechanical ventilation, depending on the underlying respiratory condition and its severity. Pediatric pulmonologists also provide education and support for families to help manage their child’s respiratory health and improve their quality of life.
