COPD and Lung Diseases

Critical Care Pulmonology & Mechanical Ventilation

Critical Care Pulmonology focuses on the management of patients with severe respiratory conditions requiring specialized monitoring and intensive care support. Critically ill patients with respiratory failure, severe infections, acute exacerbations, or complex lung disorders often require advanced interventions to maintain adequate breathing and oxygenation. This field combines expertise from pulmonology and critical care to address life-threatening respiratory challenges through timely assessment, supportive therapies, and coordinated patient management. This session will highlight important aspects of intensive respiratory care, including critical illness management, ventilatory support, and approaches to improving outcomes in critically ill patients.

• Acute respiratory failure and critical lung conditions
• Non-invasive and invasive mechanical ventilation
• Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS)
• Ventilator management and weaning strategies
• Intensive care approaches for severe respiratory diseases
