Critical care pulmonologists are trained in two closely-related areas of medicine: pulmonology & critical care. Dr. Patel treats patients suffering from life-threatening pulmonary disorders and diseases. These may include emphysema, pneumonia, lung cancer or COPD. As a critical care specialist, Dr. Patel is also trained to stabilize patients who are in critical condition and require mechanical ventilation.
Critical care specialists like Dr. Patel provide life-saving care for patients in critical condition. Patients are usually cared for in within intensive care units (ICUs), and may receive life and organ support. Dr. Patel may also work to stabilize patients and perform time-sensitive, potentially life-saving procedures.
Pulmonologists are specialized physicians who diagnose and treat diseases and disorders of the respiratory tract. As a respiratory specialist, Dr. Patel may diagnose and treat pulmonary disorders such as asthma, pulmonary fibrosis, lung cancer, lung disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), emphysema and bronchitis, among a host of others.
The specialty of internal medicine is an area of primary care for adults. Dr. Patel specializes in diagnosing and treating cross-system illnesses that may affect multiple organ systems. When necessary, Dr. Patel can also refer patients to specialist physicians when medically needed. As an example, patients with severe liver problems could be referred to a hepatologist for additional medical tests or treatments.
