Respiratory Medicine

I. Specialty Advantages / Specialty Features

(1) Cutting-edge Specialty Technologies The department has mastered a number of advanced core respiratory diagnosis and treatment technologies in China, covering the entire process of screening, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation. The core technologies are as follows:

1. Treatment technologies for critical respiratory illnesses: invasive mechanical ventilation, non-invasive mechanical ventilation, and bedside bronchoscopy-guided interventional diagnosis and treatment technologies; a high success rate is achieved in the treatment of acute and critical conditions such as ARDS, severe pneumonia, and respiratory failure. ▲ Comparison before and after treatment of “white lung” ▲ Comparison before and after one-sided ventilation treatment for airway obstruction

2. Minimally invasive bronchoscopic interventional technologies: bronchoalveolar lavage, airway stent placement, cryoablation, argon plasma coagulation, and others, covering the full-cycle diagnosis and treatment needs of respiratory diseases.

3. Precision diagnosis and treatment technologies for lung cancer: thoracoscopic segmentectomy and lobectomy; precise diagnostic technologies including transbronchial biopsy (EBUS-TBNA and cryobiopsy) and CT-guided percutaneous lung biopsy; establishment of a lung cancer multidisciplinary diagnosis and treatment (MDT) team to provide individualized chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, and minimally invasive interventional treatment.

4. Precision assessment technologies for chronic airway disease management: follow-up systems and standardized follow-up procedures for asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; pulmonary function testing, bronchodilation testing, and standardized chronic disease follow-up intervention technologies.

5. Sleep disease diagnosis and treatment technologies: equipped with a polysomnography system; screening, diagnosis, and non-invasive ventilation treatment for sleep apnea syndrome; sleep health guidance.

(2) Authoritative Expert Team The department currently has 16 medical and nursing staff members. With a well-balanced and strong talent structure, it has formed a professional medical team combining senior, middle-aged, and young members. The team includes physicians with senior professional titles and 4 master’s-level professionals, all with excellent professional expertise and extensive clinical experience. The department’s academic leader has worked in respiratory medicine for many years, holds important positions at or above the level of a standing committee member of provincial academic organizations, and has substantial clinical, scientific research, and academic influence. The department regularly arranges for core team members to undertake further training at renowned Grade III Class A medical institutions in China, continuously updating diagnostic and treatment technologies and concepts and building a technically competent, progressive respiratory specialty team.

(3) Advanced Hardware and Equipment The department is equipped with a complete set of internationally advanced respiratory specialty diagnosis and treatment equipment, creating a standardized and specialized diagnosis and treatment platform. Relying on an independent respiratory endoscopy center, pulmonary function testing room, sleep respiratory monitoring room, and respiratory intensive care unit (RICU), it is equipped with high-precision pulmonary function testing instruments, a polysomnography system, high-definition electronic bronchoscopes, critical care ventilators, an argon plasma coagulation system, a cryotherapy system, a CT-guided puncture assistance system, and a thoracoscopy system, among other high-end equipment, providing strong hardware support for precise diagnosis, minimally invasive treatment, and critical care rescue. The department has 35 open beds, including 10 RICU intensive care beds, meeting the diagnostic and treatment needs of general patients and the rescue and monitoring needs of critically ill patients.

(4) Research and Teaching Strength The department integrates medical care, teaching, and scientific research and has strong overall capabilities. In research, it focuses on the pathogenesis of respiratory diseases and the clinical translation of technologies. Relying on its qualification as a GCP drug clinical trial reserve institution, it actively conducts various clinical research projects and promotes innovation and upgrading in respiratory disease diagnosis and treatment technologies. In teaching, it undertakes systematic education and training for medical students, standardized residency trainees, and primary-level visiting trainees. It also regularly organizes provincial- and municipal-level continuing education programs and high-level academic conferences, continuously contributing to the cultivation of regional respiratory medicine professionals and technological progress in the field.

(5) Innovative Diagnosis and Treatment Models The department implements a lung cancer MDT multidisciplinary joint consultation model, integrating resources from respiratory medicine, thoracic surgery, radiology, pathology, oncology, and other disciplines to tailor individualized comprehensive diagnosis and treatment plans, including chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, and minimally invasive interventional treatment, for patients with pulmonary tumors. It has also established a standardized full-course management model for chronic airway diseases and a one-stop diagnosis and treatment service system for respiratory diseases, realizing closed-loop full-cycle management from disease screening, precise diagnosis, minimally invasive treatment, postoperative rehabilitation, and long-term follow-up, substantially improving diagnosis and treatment efficiency and patient outcomes.

II. Scope of Diagnosis and Treatment

(2) Pulmonary Tumors Pulmonary nodules, early-stage lung cancer, middle- and late-stage lung cancer, pulmonary space-occupying lesions, and others. Full-course diagnosis and treatment are provided, including screening, precision biopsy, minimally invasive surgery, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, and interventional palliative treatment.

(3) Chronic Airway Diseases Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), bronchial asthma, chronic bronchitis, emphysema, airway stenosis, chronic cough, and others. Standardized treatment and long-term follow-up management are provided.

(4) Sleep-Related Breathing Diseases Obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome, central sleep apnea, snoring, nocturnal hypoxemia, complications related to sleep-related breathing disorders, and others.

(5) Benign Airway and Pulmonary Lesions Pulmonary infections, bronchitis, bronchiectasis, interstitial lung disease, pleural effusion, pneumothorax, airway polyps, airway scar stenosis, and various common, frequently occurring, and difficult respiratory diseases.

(6) Specialized Disease Diagnosis and Treatment Programs Specialized pulmonary nodule clinic, specialized precision diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer, specialized chronic disease management for COPD/asthma, specialized sleep-related breathing disorder clinic, specialized critical respiratory illness treatment, and specialized minimally invasive bronchoscopic interventional treatment.
