Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Pulmonary care with Dr. Marshall Brumer:

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 high-risk individuals, often those with a history of smoking and a certain age. Early detection is key, as lung cancer is most treatable when found early. Please schedule a consultation with Dr. Marshall Brumer to discuss your specific eligibility.

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 and treating complex conditions like sepsis and 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 sleep quality.

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

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

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. Dr. Brumer uses PFTs to diagnose conditions like asthma and COPD, assess their severity, and monitor how well treatments are working.

Can you help me quit smoking?

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

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.
