• Chylothorax: Preventing chylothorax often involves managing its potential causes such as surgery or lymphatic system damage. Regular check-ups with your doctor can facilitate early identification and prompt intervention.
• Respiratory Sounds: Changes in your breath sounds can signal the development of lung cancer or other serious illnesses; early detection through monitoring helps prevent severe health risks.

• Eosinophilic Pneumonia: Eosinophilic pneumonia is a lung condition where an excessive number of white blood cells called eosinophils build up in your lungs, which can be caught early through regular checkups and prevented from worsening with proper treatment.
• Pulmonary Hypoxic Hypertension: Early detection and management of conditions that limit oxygen intake, like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), is vital for preventing pulmonary hypoxic hypertension, a life-threatening complication arising from low blood oxygen.

• Breath Testing: Take charge of your lung health with a breath test; it's a quick and easy way to screen for potential issues and get the care you need.
• Pleural Evacuation: To improve your breathing and identify potential lung problems, pleural evacuation safely removes fluid from the lung's lining, offering vital diagnostic information.
• Lung Resection: To manage a serious lung condition effectively and enhance breathing function, lung resection may be a necessary proactive surgical procedure.
• Allergy Skin Testing: Proactive allergy skin testing can uncover hidden sensitivities that may be contributing to your cough, wheezing, or shortness of breath, enabling targeted treatment.
• Placement of Pulmonary Artery Catheter: As a proactive measure for severe lung or heart illness, a pulmonary artery catheter provides real-time data to guide treatment, minimizing risks and improving your chances of recovery.
• Thoracoscopic Lobectomy Robotic Assist: This advanced surgical procedure, a robotic-assisted thoracoscopic lobectomy, allows for the removal of a lung lobe, aiding in the early detection and treatment of lung cancer, improving your chances for a better outcome.
• Exercise-Induced Asthma (EIA) Testing: Understanding your asthma triggers is key: EIA testing helps determine if exercise is a factor, enabling you to adjust your activity levels and medication accordingly.

Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Pulmonary care with Dr. Dagmar Lin:

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 certain high-risk individuals, typically based on age and smoking history. This is a critical preventive measure for early detection, when the cancer is most treatable. Please schedule a consultation with Dr. Dagmar Lin to discuss your specific eligibility.

What is a pleural effusion?

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

How can I prevent my asthma or COPD from getting worse?

Preventing asthma or COPD from worsening is a partnership with Dr. Lin. Key strategies include using your inhalers correctly, avoiding triggers like smoke and pollen, getting recommended vaccinations, and having a clear action plan for flare-ups.

What is the role of a pulmonologist in the ICU?

Dr. Lin and many pulmonologists are also board-certified in Critical Care Medicine. They lead ICU teams, managing critically ill patients, specializing in life-support and 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 to keep your airway open during sleep, preventing dangerous drops in oxygen and dramatically improving your sleep quality.

Can you help me quit smoking?

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

What is pulmonary rehabilitation?

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