Pulmonology and Critical Care Medicine
The Division of Pulmonology and Critical Care Medicine provides intensive care for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, bronchial asthma, interstitial lung disease, pulmonary vascular disease, pulmonary infection, tuberculosis, and lung cancer, and offers specialized treatment for respiratory conditions, such as endoscopic bronchial intervention.
The Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine operates both outpatient and inpatient units as well as a pulmonary testing lab, which provides pulmonary function tests, respiratory rehabilitation, and bronchial examinations. The division also operates a separate Tuberculosis Ward within its inpatient unit, as well as an Asthma Clinic, a Pulmonary Hypertension Clinic, an Interstitial Lung Disease Clinic and a Sleep Apnea Clinic within the outpatient unit.
Education of interns and residents is another focus of the division. It holds regular X-ray conferences, chest conferences, research meetings, and journal reviews. The medical ICU is open to the public for observation of the newest treatment methods applied to patients. It also hosts annual mechanical ventilation workshops and pulmonology conferences, and triennial pulmonary function test workshops.
The division is led by a dedicated intensivist specializing in pulmonology who manages the medical ICU and the hospital medical emergency team. Our medical ICU not only treats numerous patients with septic shock and acute respiratory distress syndrome but also performs a larger number of ECMO procedures and lung transplantation. The division is also proactive in employing techniques such as laser surgery on tumors using bronchial endoscopy, as well as bronchial interventions including balloon treatment and bronchial stent insertion, carried out in collaboration with the Department of Radiology.

Lung Cancer
AMC Lung Cancer Center is different. We allow patients to receive fast diagnosis and best medical services as quickly as possible. We draw up treatment plans and schedules to allow patients to get diagnosis and medical care as soon as possible through specialists’ consultations and coordinators’ counseling service.
Sleep Apnea
It happens due to the narrowed airway, causing a drop in breathing capacity and hypoxia. Subsequent sleep fragmentation, hypoxia, and sleep architecture disturb the nervous system, leading to cardiovascular complications and a decline in cognitive functions
