Pulmonary procedures are medical techniques used to diagnose and treat conditions affecting the lungs and respiratory system. These procedures can include tests like pulmonary function tests to measure how well the lungs are working, as well as imaging studies such as chest X-rays or CT scans to visualize lung structures. In addition to diagnostic tests, pulmonary procedures may involve treatments like bronchoscopy, where a thin tube is inserted into the airways to examine them or remove blockages. These procedures help doctors understand lung health and provide appropriate care for conditions like asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
