• Pulmonary Embolism: Preventing blood clots that travel to your lungs (pulmonary embolism) is crucial for preventing serious complications, such as shortness of breath and chest pain, so maintaining healthy habits and getting early diagnosis is vital.
• Bronchitis: Protecting your lungs from bronchitis involves avoiding environmental triggers and getting vaccinated against the flu and pneumonia, steps that significantly reduce your chances of getting this respiratory infection.
• Interstitial Lung Disease: Certain autoimmune diseases and environmental exposures can increase your risk for ILD; proactive management of these underlying conditions may help prevent or delay the onset of this chronic lung disease.
• Chronic Sinusitis: Chronic sinusitis, if left untreated, can lead to more serious respiratory problems, highlighting the importance of early diagnosis and management for overall preventive health.
• Respiratory Syncytial Virus: While RSV is common, preventing its spread through simple steps like frequent handwashing can lessen the risk of severe illness and reduce the burden on healthcare systems.
• Wheezing: Experiencing wheezing? Don't ignore it – early detection and management of conditions like asthma or COPD can significantly reduce future health problems.
• Sleep Apnea: Sleep apnea, characterized by pauses in breathing during sleep, can be effectively managed to prevent serious health problems like heart disease and stroke, highlighting the importance of early detection and treatment.
• Acute Upper Respiratory Infection: An acute upper respiratory infection (URI) is a common illness affecting your nose, throat, and sinuses, and catching it early can help prevent more serious complications like pneumonia or bronchitis.
• Bronchiectasis: Preventative care is key for people with bronchiectasis; by closely monitoring your symptoms and following your doctor's advice, you can significantly reduce your risk of serious lung infections and complications.
• Bronchopulmonary Aspergillosis: Bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (BPA) is a fungal infection affecting the lungs, and early diagnosis through regular checkups can help prevent serious complications and long-term lung damage.

Taking proactive steps is central to long-term health. Dr. Bryan Husta offers a range of key preventive screenings and services designed to provide crucial insights into your health and support your well-being:

• Arterial Blood Gas Test (ABG): An arterial blood gas test helps your doctor check how well your lungs are bringing oxygen into your blood and removing carbon dioxide, allowing for early detection of breathing problems.
• Bronchoscopy: As a proactive measure for lung health, a bronchoscopy helps doctors identify and address any abnormalities in your lungs, potentially preventing more extensive damage or disease.
• Bronchoscopy with Robotic Assist: Taking charge of your respiratory health involves considering a robotic-assisted bronchoscopy, a precise procedure to identify and address abnormalities in your lungs and breathing passages.
• Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP): Take charge of your breathing and sleep health by using CPAP; it's a proven treatment to help prevent the long-term effects of sleep apnea.
• Respiratory Management: Respiratory management helps prevent serious lung issues by detecting problems like asthma or COPD through regular checkups and assessments.
• 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.

Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Pulmonary care with Dr. Bryan Husta:

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 conditions like asthma, COPD, 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 high-risk individuals, often based on age and smoking history, to help detect the disease early when it's most treatable. Please schedule a consultation with Dr. Bryan Husta to discuss your specific eligibility.

What is bronchiectasis?

Bronchiectasis is a chronic condition where the airways in the lungs become permanently widened and damaged, leading to a buildup of mucus and recurrent infections. Management focuses on preventing infections and clearing mucus from the airways to preserve lung function.

What is the role of a pulmonologist in the ICU?

Many pulmonologists are also board-certified in Critical Care Medicine. In the ICU, they lead the team managing critically ill patients, specializing in life-support systems and complex conditions like sepsis and acute respiratory failure.

What is pulmonary rehabilitation?

Pulmonary rehabilitation is a medically supervised program of exercise and education designed to help patients with chronic lung disease breathe better, increase strength and stamina, and improve their overall quality of life.

What is a sleep study (polysomnography)?

A sleep study, or polysomnography, is the gold standard for diagnosing sleep apnea. It's an overnight test performed in a comfortable sleep lab, monitoring brain waves, heart rate, breathing patterns, and oxygen levels to assess sleep quality and identify any breathing problems.

What is a pleural effusion?

A pleural effusion is an abnormal buildup of fluid between the lungs and chest wall. Dr. Husta can perform a thoracentesis to drain and test the fluid, helping determine the cause, which can range from heart failure to infection.

What is sarcoidosis?

Sarcoidosis is an inflammatory disease where tiny clumps of inflammatory cells form in various parts of the body, often the lungs. Many cases are mild, but expert management by a specialist like Dr. Bryan Husta is crucial to monitor and prevent organ damage.
