• Aspergillosis: Aspergillosis is a fungal infection affecting the lungs, and early detection through regular checkups with your doctor is crucial for preventing serious complications.
• Bronchospasm: Bronchospasm is a sudden tightening of the airway muscles that makes it hard to breathe, and early identification through regular check-ups can help prevent severe attacks and long-term lung damage.
• Emphysema: Protecting your lungs from environmental irritants like pollution and managing risk factors like smoking can significantly reduce your risk of developing emphysema.
• Pulmonary Hypertension: Pulmonary hypertension can severely impact your breathing and overall health; therefore, proactive monitoring and treatment are essential for preventing life-threatening outcomes.
• Sarcoidosis: Managing sarcoidosis effectively through medication and lifestyle changes can help prevent further inflammation and protect your lung function in the long term.
• Bronchopulmonary Aspergillosis: Bronchopulmonary aspergillosis is a lung infection caused by the fungus Aspergillus; proactive monitoring and treatment are key to preventing the condition from worsening and improving quality of life.
• Pleural Effusion: Regular health screenings and proactive management of chronic conditions are key to early detection and treatment of pleural effusions, thereby preventing severe consequences.
• Empyema: Early detection of empyema, through chest X-rays or other imaging, is crucial for effective treatment and reducing the risk of long-term lung damage.
• Mycobacterial Lung Infection: Mycobacterial lung infections can be prevented or managed effectively through adherence to treatment plans and lifestyle modifications, such as avoiding exposure to infected individuals; this helps maintain lung health and prevents future complications.
• Influenza (Flu): The flu is a highly contagious respiratory infection that can be prevented through annual vaccination, helping to protect your lungs and overall health.

• Arterial Blood Gas Test (ABG): As a step towards preventing serious lung complications, this simple blood test assesses your blood's oxygen and carbon dioxide levels, helping your doctor understand your respiratory health.
• Bronchoscopy: To prevent more serious lung issues, a bronchoscopy allows doctors to directly visualize your airways and take samples for testing, leading to quicker and more effective treatment.
• Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP): CPAP therapy is a proactive step to improve sleep quality and manage sleep apnea, reducing your risk of serious health complications.
• Respiratory Management: Take charge of your lung health with respiratory management, a proactive approach to identify and address potential breathing problems early.
• Thoracentesis: A thoracentesis is a procedure to extract fluid from around your lungs, aiding in the early detection of serious lung issues and guiding treatment decisions for better health outcomes.
• Nasal Disorder Endoscopy: To ensure healthy breathing, a nasal endoscopy provides a detailed view of your nasal structures, enabling the early detection and treatment of conditions like sinusitis or nasal tumors, preventing more serious problems down the road.
• Bronchoprovocation Test: To proactively assess your airway sensitivity and risk of asthma or COPD flare-ups, a bronchoprovocation test can pinpoint your specific triggers and guide your treatment plan.

What is a Pulmonologist?

A pulmonologist is a medical specialist who diagnoses and treats diseases of the respiratory system, including the lungs, airways, and breathing muscles. They are experts in a wide range of conditions, from asthma and COPD to lung cancer and sleep apnea.

I have a long history of smoking. Should I be screened for lung cancer?

Lung cancer screening with a low-dose CT scan is recommended for some individuals with a significant smoking history. This screening helps detect lung cancer early, when it's most treatable. Please schedule a consultation with Dr. Adesoji Adenigbagbe to discuss your specific eligibility.

What is pulmonary hypertension?

Pulmonary hypertension is a specific type of high blood pressure affecting the arteries in the lungs and the right side of the heart. It differs from regular hypertension, which affects the arteries throughout the body. This complex condition requires specialized diagnosis and treatment from a pulmonologist or cardiologist.

What is the role of a pulmonologist in the ICU?

Many pulmonologists are also board-certified in Critical Care Medicine, leading ICU teams in managing critically ill patients. They specialize in life-support systems and treating complex conditions like sepsis and acute respiratory failure.

What is a CPAP machine?

A CPAP machine is the most effective treatment for sleep apnea. It's a small, quiet machine that delivers a gentle stream of air through a mask, keeping your airway open during sleep. This therapy prevents dangerous drops in oxygen and dramatically improves sleep quality.

Can you help me quit smoking?

Yes, quitting smoking is the single most important step for lung health. Dr. Adenigbagbe can provide evidence-based support, including counseling and prescribing medications that can double or triple your chance of quitting successfully.

What is pulmonary fibrosis?
