Our goal is for people to be at the center of decisions regarding their health, so that we approach each individual case with professional responsibility and human understanding.
Bronchoscopy is an endoscopy technique, a method that allows visual examination of the airways of the respiratory system.
A pleural effusion is a pathological accumulation of fluid in the space between the lungs and the chest wall.
Through the functioning of the respiratory system, the air we breathe is transported to the lungs, very close to blood vessels, and there gases are exchanged between these two media.
Smoking is a harmful habit and constitutes one of the most serious public health problems in modern human societies.
The partial or total inability of the respiratory system to provide the necessary amount of oxygen for the body's metabolic needs and to get rid of the produced carbon dioxide.
Ergometry, or cardiopulmonary fatigue testing, is a test that monitors the response of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems to exercise.
Examination of the respiratory system using an ultrasound device has very specific and limited indications, however it can be particularly useful in several cases.
Sleep-disordered breathing involves a wide range of conditions starting from the seemingly innocent and simple snoring and can reach the serious Obstructive Sleep Apnea/Hypoanea Syndrome.
Oximetry is a very simple, short and painless test that assesses the level of oxygen contained in the arterial blood.

Mechanical ventilation aims to improve gas exchange (reversal of hypoxemia, prevention of acute respiratory acidosis), prevention of respiratory distress (reduction of oxygen consumption by respiratory muscles, reversal of respiratory muscle fatigue) and improvement of ventilation ratio -perfusion.
Preventive medicine refers to the coordinated and targeted effort of health professionals to control, exclude or even prevent the occurrence of diseases that may burden and harm the individual, society and the environment.
