There are more than 30 different types of pneumonia. Identifying the type isn’t always easy. Our physicians are skilled at proper diagnosis and treatment.
ARDS is a potentially fatal form of respiratory failure characterized by low blood oxygen levels.
Interstitial lung disease refers to a group of diseases that irritate, inflame or scar the lungs and supporting air sacs.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a disorder characterized by persistent obstruction to airflow through the lungs.
Cystic fibrosis, an inherited disease, causes a buildup of thick mucus in the lungs. Early detection and better therapies help people live longer.
A pulmonary embolism (PE) is a life-threatening blockage in a lung artery that strains the lungs and the right side of the heart, among other symptoms.
Pediatric acute respiratory failure is an emergency. It can be serious, even life-threatening, but most children recover without chronic illness.
When we’re healthy, blood flows freely through our bodies. When blood flow is restricted, we have high blood pressure (also called hypertension).
Congestive heart failure means the heart cannot pump blood fast enough to keep up with demand. So blood begins to back up with fluid or becomes congested.
