FAQ's Related to General Physician

A respiratory and critical care medicine specialist is a medical doctor who diagnoses and treats lung diseases and life-threatening respiratory conditions. This includes conditions such as asthma, COPD, pneumonia, pulmonary infections, interstitial lung disease, respiratory failure, and critical illnesses requiring intensive care support.

Not always. In addition to lung conditions, they manage critically ill patients with complex medical problems, including respiratory failure, sepsis, and multi-organ dysfunction, often in intensive care units (ICUs).

You may be referred if you experience a persistent cough, breathlessness, chest tightness, recurrent respiratory infections, or if you develop severe or worsening respiratory symptoms that require specialised or intensive care.

A pulmonologist focuses mainly on lung diseases, while a respiratory and critical care specialist is trained in both pulmonary medicine and intensive care, allowing them to manage patients with severe, life-threatening respiratory and systemic conditions.

Most diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, such as bronchoscopy or thoracentesis, are minimally invasive and performed with local anaesthesia or sedation to ensure patient comfort.

Recovery depends on the severity of the illness and the patient’s overall health. Mild conditions may resolve quickly, while recovery from critical respiratory failure or ICU care may take weeks to months and often involves rehabilitation and follow-up care.
