Pulmonology and Critical Care Medicine

Lung disease is any problem in the lungs that prevents the lungs from working properly. Lungs diseases are categorised into three main types i.e. Lung tissue diseases, Airway diseases and Lung circulation diseases. Airway diseases affect the airways that carry oxygen and other gases into and out of the lungs in the body. They usually cause a narrowing or blockage of the airways. Airway diseases include asthma, emphysema, bronchiectasis, and chronic bronchitis.
