• Pulmonary Embolism: Managing risk factors such as prolonged immobility or certain medical conditions helps reduce your chances of developing a pulmonary embolism, a potentially deadly blood clot in your lungs.
• Pulmonary Alveolar Proteinosis: Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) is a rare lung disease where a protein buildup hinders your ability to breathe properly, making early diagnosis and treatment crucial to prevent long-term lung damage.
• Asthma in Adults: Managing asthma effectively through proactive steps like medication and avoiding triggers can prevent serious attacks and improve your long-term lung health.
• Respiratory Papillomatosis: Respiratory papillomatosis is a rare condition involving benign wart-like growths in the airways, and early detection through regular check-ups can help prevent breathing difficulties and other complications.

• Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy: As a proactive measure for treating compromised tissue oxygenation, explore hyperbaric oxygen therapy which increases oxygen levels in your blood.
• Pulmonary Function Test: Protecting your future lung health starts with a PFT, a non-invasive test which assesses lung function and helps identify conditions like asthma or COPD.
• QEEG (Quantitative Encephalogram): As part of a comprehensive health assessment, a QEEG helps screen for underlying brainwave patterns that may be impacting your respiratory health and sleep.
• Management of Mechanical Ventilator: If you need a mechanical ventilator, mastering its management helps optimize treatment, leading to a quicker and more comfortable recovery.
• Lobectomy of Lung with Robotic Assist: A robotic-assisted lobectomy is a surgery to remove a lung lobe, often used to proactively treat or prevent the spread of lung cancer discovered through early screening.
• Swan-Ganz Interpretation: Taking proactive steps with a Swan-Ganz catheter allows your doctor to understand your heart's ability to support your lungs, which can be especially important during severe illness.
• Lung Spirometry: Spirometry is a proactive step towards better respiratory health. It assesses your lung capacity, helping diagnose conditions like emphysema or chronic bronchitis, allowing for early intervention.

Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Pulmonary care with Dr. Grigory Kliger:

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. Early detection significantly improves treatment outcomes. Please schedule a consultation with Dr. Kliger to discuss your eligibility.

What is a pulmonary function test (PFT)?

A pulmonary function test (PFT) is a series of breathing tests that measure lung function, similar to an EKG for your lungs. It helps Dr. Kliger diagnose conditions like asthma and COPD, assess their severity, and monitor how well treatments are working.

My CT scan showed a 'lung nodule.' Does this mean I have cancer?

Most small lung nodules are benign, often old scars from past infections. Dr. Kliger is experienced in evaluating nodules, considering their characteristics and your risk factors to determine the best course of action, which may simply be ongoing monitoring.

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 sleep quality.

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 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, distinct from regular hypertension. It's a complex condition requiring specialized diagnosis and treatment from a pulmonologist or cardiologist.

What is a bronchoscopy?

A bronchoscopy is a procedure where a thin, flexible tube with a camera is used to look directly inside the airways of the lungs. This allows Dr. Kliger to diagnose issues such as lung infections, sources of bleeding, or take a biopsy of a suspicious area like a lung nodule.
